Ophiopogon umbraticola

Ophiopogon umbraticola Details

Ophiopogon umbraticola, commonly known as Mondo Grass, is a clump forming plant with fine, grass like, dark green foliage. Flower spikes appear in summer bearing tiny, mauve-white flowers followed by blue-black berries. It typically grows to 20 cm tall and 30 cm wide, performing best when grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. This variety tolerates frost, cool climates, and dry periods once established. Ophiopogon umbraticola looks best when mass planted and is commonly used in rock gardens, included in borders, mass planted as a ground cover, or maintained in a container.
