To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-draining soil. Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron' (Japanese Blood Grass) is prized for its dramatic, vibrant, ruby-red foliage that intensifies in color with increased sun exposure. It is a slow-to-moderate spreader that performs best with consistent moisture. Please note: Watch for any green stems that may appear within the clump, as these are a sign of the plant reverting to the aggressive, invasive species type and should be removed promptly. In late winter or early spring, cut the foliage back to the ground to encourage fresh, colorful growth for the new season.
