Mondo Grass - 2.5 inch Pots (Minimum Quantity: 54 Plants)
Mondo grass (Ophiopogon japonicus) keeps its counsel low to the earth, a quiet, dark-green carpet that has earned its place in gardens for centuries. There’s nothing flashy about it—just the steady, trustworthy beauty that gardeners have leaned on since long before the latest trends blew through. Its fine, arching blades form tidy mounds that slip gracefully between stepping stones, edge borders with a calm hand, and soften the harsh lines of paths and patios.

Give it well-drained soil, steady moisture while it settles in, and a bit of patience. It rewards with longevity and a sense of enduring order—the kind gardens once had, and still ought to keep.
Plants in 2-1/2 inch pots are a good choice for planting medium to large areas.
