Ophiopogon japonicus Nana
$7.95 / 3" Black
Dwarf Mondo Grass ·
Description
Ophiopogon japonicus Nana provides ornamental value in garden or landscape plantings.
Benefits
Adds movement, texture, and late-season structure without a fussy flower display. Fits naturally into Mid-Atlantic planting palettes and habitat-minded gardens. A better candidate for landscapes with deer pressure than more browse-prone plants. Helps make lower-light garden areas feel intentional instead of bare.
Features
Ophiopogon japonicus Nana provides cultivar-specific ornamental foliage, flowers, form, or seasonal interest.
Usage/Use
Mixed border, cottage garden, mass planting
