Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’, commonly known as Black Mondo Grass, is a striking evergreen perennial prized for its unique jet-black foliage and low-maintenance nature. Perfect as ground cover, edging, or a bold contrast in mixed borders, this hardy ornamental grass thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soils. Its clumping habit forms dense tufts of glossy black, grass-like leaves, complemented in summer by delicate pale lilac flowers followed by shiny black berries. Ideal for modern landscapes, containers, or Japanese-inspired gardens, Black Mondo Grass adds year-round drama and texture while being drought-tolerant and deer-resistant once established.
USDA Zone: 5 to 10
Prefers full sun, grows to be 6-12ft inches and 1-2ft wide.
