Please note: This product cannot be delivered to Northern Ireland Ornamental grasses are currently enjoying incredible popularity as both seasoned and novice gardeners alike discover the incredible and ever-increasing range of varieties available, and Imperata 'Red Baron', better known as Blood Grass, has to be one of the most striking! This exotic beauty is one of the smaller grasses, reaching a height of about 50 cm. A deciduous grass, in spring it'll begin to produce robust, upright green blades that turn vivid cranberry red in summer before the colour deepens to luxurious burgundy tones in autumn. Blood Grass will slowly form large clumps and looks amazing when planted en masse, with its dazzling red blades providing contrasts of colour and texture with the surrounding garden plants. Between June and August, clusters of fluffy, silvery flowers appear, adding yet more visual interest. Try it dotted around a gravel or rock garden or in a pot so that you can get up close and admire it. Growing in full sun will give the best colouring, although it will be fine in partial shade. As a deciduous grass, it will die back in winter and should be cut back to ground level in February, but don't worry, you'll see brand new shoots in March, heralding the arrival of spring and a new season of amazing colour! Supplied as an established plant in a 17 cm pot.

Superb in groups or dotted through gravel gardens or in pots, and a great, vibrant colour contrast with other plants. Tall clusters of silver, fluffy flowers in summer that move beautifully in the breeze. A hardy perennial, coming back bigger and better each year, grow it in a sunny spot for the best colour.
