Jap. Blood grass
 

I just added some Jap. Blood grass to my accent plants. As I live in
Pennsylvania it does get a bit cold here and I would like to know if this
grass has to freeze over the Winter or needs to be in the green house?

tia,
Robert

Robert,

Blood grass is hardy in zone 7 (Virginia) with no protection. It should winter
well wherever you keep your hardy bonsai. Just don't let it dry out too much.

Robert,

Please . . . we bonsai enthusiasts don't use the word Jap. to describe our plants. It's offensive. Please don't let this note upset you, I don't mean it as criticism or in meanness. It's just a fact. You could simply say --J. Blood Grass--, or even better Japanese Blood Grass.

Let's NOT start a war here, I just saw this come in.
