Shop now $8.95
Black Mondo Grass is an evergreen ground cover perennial that despite it's name it's not grass like at all. The long black blades create a striking contrast in your garden.
Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’, commonly known as Black Mondo Grass, is a clump-forming perennial grown for its distinctive dark purple-black foliage and compact grassy habit. This ornamental plant forms dense tufts of narrow arching leaves that provide strong contrast in garden plantings year-round. Small pale pink to lilac flowers may appear in summer, followed by dark berries. Black Mondo Grass grows best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil and tolerates a range of garden conditions once established. Suitable for many New Zealand gardens, it is commonly used for borders, edging, containers and contrast planting.
Popular for modern, minimalist garden designs.
Native to Japan.
