Dwarf Mondo Grass is an awesome ornamental grass with a summer bloom! It would make a wonderful groundcover or a border in your perennial bed. As it grows it abandons its erect stance and adopts a rather elegant manner, slightly bowing for a gentle, soft appearance.
Your Dwarf Mondo Grass (Ophiopogon japonicus 'Nana') is a grass similar to lawn grass, with a dark green color. Half the size as other Mondo Grass, this dwarf is an excellent evergreen for mass plantings, edging and containers! Just 4-6 inches tall and wide, these create little pompoms of green all growing season long.
In the summer tiny blue flowers form, resembling little balls, adding a bit of additional decorative appeal. In fall, small berries arrive and adorn the plant with more interest!
How to Use Dwarf Mondo Grass In The Landscape
Dwarf Mondo Grass is a low-growing grass, so if you use it as a lawn substitute keeping it short won't be a problem, and you won't spend all your weekends mowing it. Plant en masse on hills and slopes where you may have some trouble mowing!
Developing a thick mat of roots that spread by short, underground stolons, it slowly spreads to form dense colonies. Plant it along gutter runoff where can aid in dealing with water run-off. Two of the enemies of grasses, deer and bunnies, tend to leave it alone!
It can even handle heavy foot traffic so using it around paving stones and stepping stones, and dot throughout your Rock gardens would be no problem at all. Fantastic as edging and at creating a neat row for a finishing touch along your garden beds!
The size is perfect for containers and planters, so you can easily use this high-style perennial on porches, patios and balconies! Acting as both a lovely filler and spiller, the fantastic foliage sets off your other plants beautifully!
#ProPlantTips For Care
Plant in full sun in the cooler USDA growing zones of 6 through 11. Tolerating partial shade as well, you’ll get the best coloration when in full sun, however, those in the warmer climates will find their grass appreciates part sun or afternoon shade.
Mondo Grass is drought-tolerant, but to protect your investment provide water in times of severe drought. Preferring evenly moist soils in average fertility, be sure to plant in well-drained soil for best results.
Low maintenance, this slow and steady grower doesn’t require much upkeep! Even pests seem to avoid it, eliminating the need for costly pesticides. Deer and rabbits avoid eating it, so there’s no need to worry about planting this in out-of-the-way spots!
Dwarf Mondo Grass is durable, hardy grass with an ornamental appeal. Try some today to begin enjoying its stellar qualities. Order enough for your next project at NatureHills.com!
