5 Seeds Mondo Grass Ophiopogon japonica Evergreen Groundcover Shade Border

Mondo Grass is a low-growing evergreen perennial forming dense tufts of narrow, grass-like foliage. Its neat, clumping habit brings tidy texture to shaded beds, border edges, and container plantings throughout the year.

Valued as a groundcover and edging plant, it performs well in shade to part shade and can be used between stepping stones or along pathways. In cold climates foliage may tint bronze in winter.
