Ophiopogon planiscapus
Black Mondo Grass

Black Mondo Grass is a striking, slow-growing, evergreen perennial prized for its dramatic, almost black foliage and low-maintenance habit. Its fine, grass-like leaves form dense, tufted clumps reaching 20–30 cm (8–12 in) in height, creating a bold, architectural contrast in gardens. The deep, dark foliage adds a modern, elegant touch and pairs beautifully with lighter-colored plants or vibrant flowers.

In summer, Black Mondo Grass produces small, pale lilac to white flowers near the base of the foliage. These are often followed by shiny, black berries, adding subtle seasonal interest without overwhelming the plant’s striking dark form.

Growing conditions and care: Thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of well-draining soils. It is drought-tolerant once established, pest-resistant, and requires minimal maintenance—simply remove old leaves in early spring to keep clumps tidy.

Landscape uses: Ideal for mass plantings, borders, edging pathways, rockeries, underplanting larger shrubs, or as a striking accent in modern garden designs. Black Mondo Grass combines bold color, year-round interest, and low-maintenance care, making it a favorite for gardeners seeking a dramatic, architectural groundcover.
