Imperata Red Baron Description

Imperata Red Baron is a highly distinctive ornamental grass valued for its vibrant foliage and compact form. Also commonly called Red Baron Grass or Japanese Blood Grass, it produces upright green leaves that gradually develop dramatic red colouring towards the tips.

The changing foliage colour gives Imperata Red Baron blood grass strong seasonal appeal. As the growing season progresses, the red tones become increasingly prominent, creating a bold focal point within borders and planting schemes.

Red Baron Japanese Blood Grass is particularly useful where a garden needs stronger colour without relying entirely on flowering plants. Its fine foliage contrasts effectively with broad leaved shrubs, green grasses and structural planting.

This Japanese blood grass plant is also suitable for smaller gardens. Its compact habit makes it useful for containers, edging, gravel gardens and contemporary borders where its vivid colouring can be appreciated.

Pruning Advice

Imperata Red Baron requires relatively little maintenance. Allow the foliage to remain through autumn and winter to provide additional seasonal interest and structure.

In late winter or early spring, cut back the previous year's foliage close to the base before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged material and clear away old leaves around the plant.

Wear suitable gardening gloves when cutting back ornamental grasses to protect your hands from the fine foliage.
