Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’ (Black Mondo Grass) is a slow-growing, evergreen perennial forming dense tufts of narrow, arching leaves that are deep purple-black. Typically reaching 6 to 12 inches tall and spreading 12 to 18 inches wide, it adds dramatic color and texture to shady borders, woodland gardens, and container plantings. Black Mondo Grass is tough, adaptable, and requires minimal maintenance, making it ideal for low-light areas needing a dark, elegant groundcover.
