Ornamental grasses are currently enjoying incredible popularity as both seasoned and novice gardeners alike discover the incredible and ever-increasing range of varieties available, and Imperata ‘Red Baron’, better known as Blood Grass, has to be one of the most striking!Originating in Korea, Japan, China and India, these exotic beauties are smaller grasses, each reaching a height of about 50cm, but are nonetheless striking. In spring, these deciduous grasses begin to produce robust, upright green blades which turn vivid cranberry red in summer before the colour deepens to luxurious burgundy tones in autumn.Blood Grass slowly form large clumps and look amazing when planted en masse, with dazzling red blades providing contrasts of colour and texture with the surrounding garden plants. Between June and August, clusters of fluffy, silvery flowers appear, adding yet more visual interest. Try them dotted around gravel or rock gardens or in pots so that you can get up close and admire them.Growing in full sun will give the best colouring, although they will also be fine in partial shade. As deciduous grasses, they will die back in winter and should be cut back to ground level in February, but don’t worry, you’ll see brand new shoots in March, heralding the arrival of spring and a new season of amazing colour!Supplied as a pair of established plants in 2 litre pots, ready to plant.
