Imperata cylindrica ‘rubra’

(5 customer reviews)

£5.95

A striking ornamental grass with vivid, flame-red tips that intensify as the season progresses. ‘Red Baron’ brings bold colour and fine texture to borders, gravel gardens, or containers. Its upright, slightly arching green blades are tipped with crimson from spring, turning a rich, fiery red by autumn — a true standout in any planting scheme.

☀️ Position:
Full sun for the best colour. Can tolerate light shade, but red tones will be less intense.

🌿 Soil:
Moist but well-drained soil. Prefers fertile, humus-rich ground but adapts to sandy or loamy soils.

💧 Watering:
Water regularly in dry periods, especially during its first year. Mulch helps retain moisture.

🧤 Spacing:
Plant 30–40 cm apart to allow for its slow-spreading habit and graceful clump formation.

✂️ Maintenance:
Cut back old foliage in early spring before new growth appears. Divide every few years to rejuvenate.
