Black Mondo Grass
Edging
Ophiopogon planiscapus "Nigrescens"
(syn. Ophiopogon "Black Dragon")

Description: Welcome to the world of “hort noir”! Black Mondo Grass is a super stylish foliage plant, which grows into 20-30cm clumps. It also has small pale lavender flowers & small lustrous black berries, which both get partially hidden under its foliage.

Inspiration: Use as edging in your garden to striking effect en masse and in contrast with other plants eg with variegated, silver, or green foliage. Also well suited as a companion container plant, planted around the outside edge of pots.

Situation: Very versatile, planted in full sun to part shade, and with low to moderate water requirements.

Care: Low maintenance & low requirements. Leaves remain shiny & good-looking all year round - just let it grow! Young leaves have a temporary greenish tinge, which soon age to black. If growing in a pot, it will get its water and fertiliser requirements when you look after any other companion plants.
