Garden Goods Direct | Mondo Grass

Ophiopogon japonicus or Mondo Grass creates attractive clumps of dark green, grass-like leaves that make a beautiful groundcover or low border. A simple, no-fuss ground cover, Mondo Grass performs well in the shadiest of locations. This gracefully arcing perennial prefers part to full shade, and does not have a flower but produces a small berry that appears on a little stalk. Mondo Grass can handle anywhere from part to full shade, and could even be put inside in terrariums or as a houseplant in low light conditions. Mondo Grass can be cut like a regular lawn but holds its shape and structure with little to no care. The arching leaves look beautiful as a border or edging, and can be effectively used as a groundcover.
