Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron'
Japanese blood grass
'Red Baron' sends up flat blades that redden from the tip downwards, so a backlit clump appears to glow, and silvery white spikes follow at the end of summer. It reaches 40-100 cm, is hardy to zone 8, and needs sun for the colour to develop.

About sizes
CLT is a container volume in litres, VRL the same in a decorative red container. M is a field-grown plant lifted with its root ball, MGR the same grown in isolation and wire-balled. RN is bare root, available in the dormant season. T is a full standard and POT a planter. Heights are given as a range in centimetres; trunk girth is the circumference measured at one metre. A larger container is not always dearer: a trained or grafted form of the same volume costs more than a bush, and the form is named on the row.
