Ophiopogon japonicus ‘Nana’, commonly called Dwarf Mondo Grass, features dwarf tufts of dark green, strap-like leaves which spread to form a dense mat. A tough, durable plant. Prefers cool, moist soil, but allow the top couple of inches to dry between waterings. Dwarf Mondo Grass makes a good lawn substitute. It’s also great for borders or mass planted as a groundcover. Tolerates varying amounts of foot traffic.
Ophiopogon japonicus is a species of evergreen low-growing plants from Japan, primarily grown for their tidy low-maintenance grass-like foliage. Ophiopogon is an excellent ground cover for shady areas, and the dense mat of roots holds the ground well where runoff is a problem. It is widely used as a border around beds, and is good for edging walkways and defining beds.
