    Product Details

    Imperata Red Baron – Fiery Colour, Graceful Movement

    The Imperata Red Baron (Japanese Blood Grass) is one of the most visually striking ornamental grasses available, with upright, strap-like leaves that emerge green before turning a vivid, deep crimson-red from the tips down. Supplied in a 5 litre pot at 40–50cm tall, this well-established plant is ready to add drama and movement to your garden.

    Why Choose Imperata Red Baron?

    • Stunning blood-red foliage that intensifies through summer and autumn
    • Graceful, upright habit with beautiful movement in the breeze
    • Ideal for adding bold colour contrast to borders and containers
    • Low maintenance and easy to grow
    • Spectacular when backlit by sunlight

    Ideal For

    Mixed borders, patio containers, and contemporary planting schemes. Pairs beautifully with phormiums, bamboo, and other ornamental grasses for a rich, textural display.

    Growing Conditions

    Best in full sun in moist, well-drained soil. Full sun intensifies the red colouring. Hardy across most of the UK with some winter protection in colder areas.

    Planting Tips

    💧 Watering – Essential for Success

    Consistent watering is vital from day one. Ambient rainfall is rarely sufficient, especially in the first season after planting. Water deeply and regularly to help roots establish — this is the main condition of our plant guarantee. Plants that are allowed to dry out may fail to establish and will not be covered under warranty.

    Rootballed Plants

    Handle rootballed plants with care and do not remove the hessian sacking, netting, or metal wire around the rootball. These materials are designed to hold the root system together during planting and will naturally break down in the soil. Simply place the rootball in the prepared planting hole, making sure it sits at the same depth it was previously growing. Backfill with soil, firm in gently, and water thoroughly.

    Potted Plants

    Remove the plant carefully from its pot and lightly tease out any circling roots before planting. Place it in a hole slightly larger than the pot, ensuring the top of the rootball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill, firm in gently, and water generously.

    Trees & Tall Plants

    When planting trees or taller plants, always provide a strong stake or support for at least the first growing season. This helps the roots establish firmly and prevents wind damage. Position the stake on the windward side and secure the stem loosely with a soft tie, allowing for slight movement.
