Ophiopogon japonicus Nana (@ Scott Arb)

Ophiopogon japonicus 'Nana'

Mondo Grass - Dwarf

Dwarf Mondo Grass is an excellent evergreen groundcover between stepping stones because it has good tolerance for moderate foot traffic.  The delicate strap-like leaves are dark green and very uniform.  This plant is a good grass-like substitute for lawns in shady areas.  Dwarf Mondo Grass is very useful for water run off in shade, as well as water absorption on shady green roofs.  A member of the Asparagus family (as you can tell by the occasional blue fruit).
