A popular dwarf version of the black mondo plant which can be used as a trouble-free groundcover for a very dramatic effect. Narrow, black, grass-like leaves form a spreading dense mat. Has white to pale lilac flowers on short stems in summer followed by attractive blue-black berries.
Grows best in full sun or semi-shade in moist, but well-drained soil. Though frost tolerant, protect from heavy or prolonged frost conditions.
Stunning contrast for the front of the border with exceptional, dense, purple-black, grass-like foliage. Produces white to pale lilac flowers in summer that are followed by purple berries in fall, creating additional interest in the landscape. Use en masse as edging, or tuck into mixed containers.
