Re: ornamental grass!

I also see where AHS A-Z prefers to use the cultivar name 'Rubra',
considering 'Red Baron' to be a synonym.  However, even if it was named
'Rubra' before 'Red Baron', the "official rules" now state that Latin words
can no longer be used as cultivar names, so 'Red Baron' seems the more
correct name.
