Ophiopogon nigrescens (Black Mondo Grass)

Ophiopogon nigrescens (Black Mondo Grass) is a striking, ornamental groundcover that adds a unique contrast to your garden with its dark, almost black foliage. This slow-growing perennial forms a dense, clumping mat of glossy, narrow leaves that make it a bold statement plant in shaded areas. Its rich colour deepens as the plant matures, providing a dramatic effect in garden beds, under trees, or in pots and containers.

In late summer, Ophiopogon nigrescens produces delicate, small, bell-shaped white flowers, followed by dark purple-black berries that enhance its dramatic appearance. With its low-maintenance nature and compact size, this plant is perfect for creating contrast in your garden or for planting alongside other foliage plants.
