Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’ (Black Mondo Grass)

Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’, commonly known as Black Mondo Grass, is a striking evergreen perennial prized for its dramatic, near jet-black foliage. Forming dense clumps of arching, strap-like leaves, it creates exceptional contrast in garden beds, borders, rockeries, and container plantings.

During summer, delicate pale pink to white bell-shaped flowers emerge on dark stems, followed by glossy dark purple berries that add further ornamental interest. Tough, durable, and low-maintenance, Black Mondo Grass is perfect for modern landscapes and for pairing with silver, gold, or bright green foliage plants to create stunning visual contrasts.
