Black Mondo Grass Ophiopogon planiscapus Nigrescens (Arabicus)

The black form selected in the UK is an extraordinary looking plant with purple-green leaves that turn jet black when grown in full sun and very well-drained soil. Great in a rock garden or raised bed. It also makes a good foil for dwarf rock garden bulbs in spring. Super accent plant in a small pot. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
