I know it as Japanese Blood Grass, but uponlooking it up I see indeed it is also known as Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron.'<br /><br />I will say that for me at least it's a very well behaved grass. However where I've got it growing (two places) it stays very dry over the summer so that might keep it in check. If it were in a moister situation it might be a little happier (aka...spreading).danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-70582801537444124072013-08-22T17:05:06.743-07:002013-08-22T17:05:06.743-07:00Agreed!Agreed!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-42304386242144121422013-08-22T17:04:57.260-07:002013-08-22T17:04:57.260-07:00Not every plant in your garden should shout at you...Not every plant in your garden should shout at you right?
