Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’, commonly known as Black Mondo Grass, is a compact evergreen ornamental grass with dramatic deep purple-black foliage. Its bold, strap-shaped leaves create striking contrast in borders, gravel gardens, rockeries, and patio containers, making it a popular choice for modern garden design and contemporary landscaping.

This slow-growing, clump-forming perennial typically reaches 15–20 cm in height with a spread of 20–30 cm. In summer, it produces small pale lilac flowers followed by glossy dark berries, adding subtle seasonal interest.

Ideal for edging pathways, underplanting shrubs, pairing with silver or bright green foliage, or creating contrast in mixed container displays. Its architectural shape and unique colour make it a standout feature in both small gardens and larger planting schemes.

Plant Details:
• Supplied in 9cm pots
• Evergreen perennial
• Height: 15–20 cm
• Spread: 20–30 cm
• Flowering: Summer

Growing Conditions:
Prefers well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. For the deepest black foliage colour, plant in a bright position with some direct sunlight. Avoid waterlogged soil, particularly during winter. Low maintenance once established, requiring only occasional removal of old foliage in early spring.

Hardy and well suited to UK gardens.
