Position: full sun or partial shadeSoil: well-drained soilRate of growth: slow-averageFlowering period: June to AugustHardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection in cold areas)Blood-red spikes that fade to bright green at the base and become transluscent with age make this grass a spectacular addition to the perennial border. It takes a while to strut its stuff, but in late summer, it shines like a jewel. Imperata cylindrica is particularly effective planted with other grasses, or shown off in a container.
