Red Baron Japanese Blood Grass (Imperata cylindrica ‘‘Red Baron’’) forms a compact clump of upright blades tipped in vivid red, deepening to rich crimson as temperatures warm. Non-invasive and well-behaved, it’s perfect for adding color contrast to borders, mixed plantings, and containers. Low maintenance, deer resistant, and happy in full sun, Red Baron provides bold texture and season-long interest without spreading aggressively like other Imperata types.
