About This Variety

Meet This Variety

Dwarf mondo grass in this seed listing is identified conservatively as Ophiopogon spp. because the image set contains more than one foliage form. The grass-like evergreen foliage creates low texture for shaded ground cover, path edges, borders, and containers.

Seed-grown plants may vary in height, leaf color, density, and dwarf habit; cultivar uniformity is not guaranteed. Grow in partial shade and moist, well-drained soil, keeping seedlings evenly moist while they establish.

Fine, grass-like perennial foliage for shaded ground cover and path edges, with natural variation expected among seed-grown plants.
