1g Black Mondo Grass
Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens'

A striking contrast to variegated Liriope or other brightly colored plants, Black Mondo Grass is a great little groundcover with jet black leaves that mature to about 12" long.  During the summer, small, bell-shaped white flowers tinged with pink push up and produce glossy, dark purple round berries that ripen in the fall.  

Black Mondo Grass prefers rich, slightly acidic, moist, and well-drained soil. It grows well in full sun to partial shade.
