I just ordered some Japanese blood grass that will hopefully be here soon. I hear it can get invasive. I am wondering how invasive is invasive? Is it something where I can just pull some of the extra growth every season or should I bury a barrier of some sort. If so, what would work? I never had to do that before for anything. I am new to gardening. Could I use a plastic 3 gallon pot that another plant came in with the bottom cut out? Maybe a coffee can with the bottom cut out? What about the black plastic edging stuff that bends. More importantly, how deep does it have to go? I read in the description of the bloodgrass that if it starts to grow green and not red anymore then it has reverted back to its parents or something and is even more invasive. It said that that is always a possibility and to get rid of it then. Can someone just give me some pointers here. I live just NE of Atlanta. Zone 7b or 8a. Kind of on the border. I really like the way the stuff looks but I want to prevent any problems with it at the start.
