Imperata cylindrica ‘Rubra’, commonly known as Japanese Blood Grass, is a striking ornamental grass grown for its dramatic foliage rather than its flowers. Fresh green leaves emerge in spring, with the upper portions gradually turning vivid crimson-red as the season progresses, until by late summer and autumn the foliage glows with fiery scarlet tones.
Compact and slow-spreading, this eye-catching grass provides bold contrast in mixed borders, gravel gardens, and contemporary planting schemes. Its upright habit and brilliant autumn colour make it an excellent companion for late-flowering perennials and ornamental grasses.
Unlike the invasive green species, the cultivar ‘Rubra’ is generally well behaved in the garden and spreads only slowly by short rhizomes.
Amazing service from Peter’s Plants. Received my order very quickly, it was well packaged and it is a beautiful, healthy, good sized plant. I will certainly purchase from Perez’s Plants again. Thank you.
