Description

Ophiopogon japonicus 'Nana' has a compact, slowly spreading habit and glossy, dark green, grassy leaves. Its summer spikes of light lavender bell-shaped flowers are followed by fat, metallic blue-black berries. Also known as Dwarf Mondo Grass, it is usually a very slow grower, spreading via rhizomes and sometimes seed.

It makes a great evergreen ground cover or edging perennial. Ophiopogon 'Nana' is also excellent between stepping stones or pavers. Ophiopogon japonicus 'Nana' is one of our favorites due to its versatility and hardy nature.

Ophiopogon japonicus 'Nana' prefers partial shade and average, well-drained soil. It will take some sun if given sufficient moisture. Dwarf Mondo tolerates moderate to heavy foot traffic. Space on 4" to 6" centers to create a ground cover.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
