Japanese Blood Grass

Japanese Blood Grass

Imperata cylindrica 'Rubra'

An elegantly clumping ornamental grass that adds texture and visual interest to the landscape. In spring, new growth emerges medium green at the base and is tipped with a scarlet red that creeps down and intensifies with maturity; by fall, the top half of each leaf is brilliant red. Spreading slowly through underground runners, this species can become invasive if left unmonitored, and is best kept in patio containers or tubs.

Common Nursery Plant Forms

We use plant forms to describe how a plant has been grown in our nursery. Here are some common nursery plant forms explained.

A bush or multi refers to a shrub or small tree grown with multiple stems.
A standard has been trained to have a single trunk.
Many bush/multi plants are also available in standard form, so be sure to check the form when you add plants to your cart.
A column refers to a tree or shrub grown into a tall, narrow shape.

An espalier is a plant trained to grow in a two-dimensional form against a trellis.

Staked plants will be tied to a wooden or plastic stake during the growing process. This technique is generally used on vines but is sometimes used for certain trees or shrubs.
