Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron'

• Striking upright grass with vivid red-tipped foliage
• Colour intensifies through summer into autumn
• Compact, clump forming habit ideal for borders and pots
• Low maintenance ornamental grass for sunny positions

Imperata cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ is a dramatic and eye catching ornamental grass, prized for its slender, upright leaves that develop rich crimson red tips as the season progresses. The fiery colouring intensifies through summer and autumn, creating strong contrast and visual impact in borders and contemporary planting schemes.

 

With its neat, clump forming habit, ‘Red Baron’ is well suited to front of border planting, gravel gardens and containers, where its bold colour and architectural form can be fully appreciated. It performs best in a sunny position with well drained soil and requires very little maintenance once established. This striking grass is perfect for adding structure, texture and long lasting seasonal colour to the garden.
