🌿 How to Care for Imperata Cylindrica ‘Red Baron’

How much sun do Imperata Cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ need?
Imperata Cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ thrive in full sun (6–8 hours daily). Some varieties can tolerate partial shade, but flowering may be reduced.
Imperata Cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ prefer well-drained soil, ideally light and moderately fertile. Heavy, waterlogged soil should be avoided to prevent root issues.
The best time to plant Imperata Cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ is spring or early autumn. Space them according to their mature size, plant at the same depth as their containers, firm in, and water well.
Water Imperata Cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ regularly during their first growing season. Once established, most grasses are drought-tolerant and only need water during prolonged dry periods.
Imperata Cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ don’t need much feeding. In poor soils, a light compost mulch or a slow-release fertiliser in early spring is sufficient. Too much feeding can make them floppy.
Imperata Cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ should be left standing over winter to protect the crown and add structure. In late spring, once new growth appears, cut back dead foliage to just above the fresh shoots.
Divide Imperata Cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ into clumps every 2–4 years to keep them healthy. The best time is early spring before new growth or late summer for warm-season types.
Imperata Cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ are usually low-maintenance and pest-resistant. In overly wet or crowded conditions, issues like mildew, rust, or aphids may occasionally appear.

Common reasons include too much shade, overfeeding, or lack of division. Move to a sunnier spot, divide overgrown clumps, and avoid high-nitrogen fertiliser.
