Ophiopogon japonicus is a slow-spreading, evergreen perennial forming dense clumps of narrow, strap-like dark green leaves typically growing 6 to 8 inches tall. It thrives in part to full shade and is valued for its fine texture and year-round color in shade gardens, borders, and containers. Mondo Grass is tough, adaptable, and low maintenance, making it ideal for adding structure and a lush carpet of foliage under trees or in woodland garden settings.
