Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens' is a perennial plant that's an immediate eye-catcher with its unconventional, deep purple to near-black foliage. Commonly recognized as Black Mondo Grass, this stunning member of the lily family grows into aesthetically pleasing clumps, standing up to 10 inches in height. You'll be enchanted by its small bell-shaped flowers adorning the plant in a soft palette of pink to lilac during summer, ultimately replaced by glossy black berries. Amid light-green landscapes, Mondo Grass is highly prized for its ability to add dramatic contrasts and depth. It proves itself to be as adaptable as it is attractive, favoring both full sunlight and part shade, while requiring moderate watering and well-drained soil conditions. Its best performance isn't without the added advantage of being deer-resistant and generally free from major disease issues, making it a compelling and low-maintenance addition to borders and shaded gardens.
