Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens' (Black Mondo Grass)










(oh-fee-oh-POE-gon-plan-iss-KAP-us)


The magnificent plant, Ophinopogon planiscapus ('Nigrecens' or Black Mondo Grass,) has shiny black foliage which grows into precious little tufts where tiny bell shaped white flowers grow. I have a set of triplets in my urban terrace garden; each individual is growing in a beautiful container. They bring tremendous joy to me and those who visit my garden, and so an image of this "fun" oh-fee-oh-POE-gon-plan-is-KAP-us  will be surely be included in my up-coming note-card collection. Please continue to visit my blog or web-site for details.
