(Japanese Blood Grass, Red Baron Japanese Blood Grass)
Japanese blood grass is an upright, clump-forming grass with green new growth that darkens to brilliant red from the leaf tip downward and turns straw-colored in dormancy.

Lustrous dark green foliage makes the prince's vine attractive year round, but wintertime finds it covered in violet-magenta flowers that are breathtaking. A very fast-growing tropical vine native to Jamaica in the western Caribbean, it is root hardy in regions with light frosts, but since it blooms in winter it is problematic in such climates.
The dark green leaves are glossy and hand-like (palmate) with three to five lobes that are deeply cut. Sometimes the leaf edges are undulating or have...
