Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Arabicus' (Black Mondo Grass)

Part Sun to ShadeZone: 7-10 6" tall Origin: Japan

Open House/Web-Only! This has long been one of the stars in our NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored Plants) garden...actually I think this black garden thing is catching on. Originally introduced in the US in 1960 by California's Oakhurst Gardens, each 6" tall circular mound is composed of truly black 1/4" wide foliage. Spreading slowly by rhizomes, a single plant will make a nice 18" wide mat in 3 years. For quicker coverage, we plant on 10-12" centers. This easy-to-grow groundcover makes a fabulous backdrop for blues, golds and good imaginations...do you have a dream? Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
