Taller Form of the Mondo Grass
Ophiopogon Japonica
Great in Shade!
Steps, pavers, concrete slabs or tiles can look very stark and harsh in the garden. A popular landscaping trick is to tone down these areas using one of the varieties of mondo grass (Ophiopogon japonicus).
Mondo grass is not actually a grass but a lily. This versatile plant can also be used as a border to create a formal look, or as a lawn in areas where there is no traffic. Although it will last for years undisturbed, well-established clumps can be divided and spread round the garden. Mondo grass grows in all areas of Australia.
Ophiopogon japonicus 'Nanus is a hardy plant which will tolerate very dry conditions and is frost tolerant. It grows to 75mm (3") tall.
