Description
Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron' is a striking ornamental grass prized for its vibrant red-tipped foliage. It adds a bold splash of colour to borders or mixed planting schemes and provides a dynamic, architectural element throughout the growing season.
This grass prefers a sunny position and well-drained soil. It has a moderate growth rate and is hardy in most UK gardens, although care should be taken in exposed positions. Flowering is not typically the main feature, as interest lies largely in the foliage colour.
