NOW ONLY $5 EACH, OR A TRAY OF 12 FOR $50!

This grower has over 1000 of these and wants to move them on. Apparently they've been sitting here for a year (pictured) so they're ready to explode out of their pots. They've also been protected with coir weed discs for the duration, so they're also weed & oxalis free. 

You won't find these cheaper anywhere ever again!

Common Name: Black Mondo Grass

Description:
Black Mondo Grass (Ophiopogon planiscapus) is a striking, evergreen, clumping perennial known for its unique deep purple to almost black, strap-like foliage. It is a slow-growing ornamental grass-like plant that forms dense, low-growing mounds, making it an excellent ground cover or accent plant in garden beds, borders, and pots. During late spring to summer, it produces small, bell-shaped, pale purple to lilac flowers that rise above the foliage, followed by small, dark blue berries. Black Mondo Grass thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a part-shade to full-shade position, though it can tolerate some sun. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance, making it a fantastic choice for modern and Japanese-style gardens.
