Ophiopogon 'Black Dragon' (Black Dragon Mondo)

Ophiopogon 'Black Dragon' is a striking evergreen groundcover renowned for its dramatic black foliage and compact growth habit. It's fine, grass-like leaves create a bold contrast against green planting, light-coloured paving, and decorative stone, making it a popular choice for contemporary gardens and landscape designs.

Growing to approximately 15cm high and 45cm wide, Black Dragon Mondo forms dense clumps that are ideal for borders, edging, mass planting, and underplanting beneath trees and shrubs. During summer, small white flowers emerge amongst the foliage, followed by glossy purple-black berries that add further seasonal interest.

Hardy and low maintenance, this versatile plant performs well in a range of garden settings and provides year-round colour and texture. Its unique foliage makes it an excellent feature when used in groups or as a contrasting accent within mixed plantings.
