Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Black Mondo’ is a dramatic ornamental grass-like perennial known for its deep purple-black, strappy foliage that creates striking contrast in garden beds and containers. Forming low, slow-spreading clumps, it adds bold texture and year-round interest to borders, rock gardens, and shade plantings. Easy to grow and low maintenance, it thrives in partial shade with well-drained soil and produces small pale flowers followed by dark berries.
