Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens', commonly known as Black Mondo Grass, is a striking and unique ornamental plant that adds dramatic contrast to any garden. Its deep, almost black, grass-like foliage creates a bold statement, making it an ideal choice for adding depth and texture to borders, rock gardens, or container arrangements. This slow-growing, evergreen perennial typically reaches about 6-10 inches in height and spreads gradually to form a dense, low-maintenance ground cover. In summer, Black Mondo Grass produces delicate, pale pink to lavender flowers that stand out beautifully against the dark foliage. These flowers are followed by small, shiny black berries, adding further interest to this already captivating plant. Thriving in USDA hardiness zones 5-9, Black Mondo Grass prefers partial shade to full sun and well-draining soil. It is adaptable to a variety of soil types and can tolerate drought once established, making it a resilient and versatile addition to the garden. Its compact size and distinctive color make it an excellent companion for lighter-colored plants, such as hostas, ferns, or silver-leaved plants, creating a striking contrast that enhances any landscape design. To maintain its vibrant appearance, water regularly during dry spells, especially in the first growing season. A layer of mulch will help retain soil moisture and keep the roots cool, ensuring the plant remains healthy and lush. Whether you’re looking to create a focal point, line a pathway, or add a touch of elegance to a container garden, Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens' offers a perfect blend of beauty and durability. Bring home this eye-catching Black Mondo Grass today and enjoy its striking presence in your garden year-round.
