Ophiopogon japonicus ‘Nana’ (Dwarf Mondo Grass) forms dense, clumping tufts of narrow, deep green leaves that grow just 4 to 6 inches tall and spread slowly to about 12 inches wide. Its compact habit makes it perfect for borders, pathways, and container gardens, especially in part to full shade. Dwarf Mondo Grass is durable, low maintenance, and tolerates a range of soil types, providing year-round texture and subtle color to shady spots.
