Black Mondo grass, also known as' Black Dragon', is a dramatic ornamental grass that captivates with its deep-purple to nearly jet-black leaves. In summer, it surprises with small, bell-shaped, pale pinkish-white flowers that emerge on dark stems, later transforming into glossy dark-purple berries.
Notably, it is also remarkably low-maintenance and thrives in partial to full shade, making it an ideal choice for shaded garden areas. Additionally, the striking dark foliage of Black Mondo grass provides a stunning colour contrast in mixed plantings.
