Ophiopogon japonicus / MONDO GRASS
Ophiopogon japonicus, commonly known as Mondo Grass, is a compact, evergreen perennial that forms dense tufts of narrow, grass-like foliage, creating a soft, ground-covering effect. Its dark green leaves add texture and contrast to garden beds, borders, or container plantings, thriving in both sunny and partially shaded areas. In late summer, Mondo Grass produces small, delicate white to pale lavender flowers that are followed by black berries, which persist into the fall. This plant is low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and works well in a variety of landscapes, including as a border or accent plant. Ophiopogon japonicus is an excellent choice for adding visual interest, texture, and color to your garden while remaining easy to care for.
