Ophiopogon japonicus |
Mondo Grass, Ophiopogon japonicus, is not a true grass but comes from the Asparagus family, Asparagaceae. While Mondo Grass can grow in full sun, it does better with a little shade during the summer months; it is also suited to semi-shaded aspects. It grows best in fertile soil and doesn’t mind free-draining clay soils. Once established, Mondo Grass can be quite vigorous in its growth and spread to cover large areas. Saying that it’s easy to control by using a spade to reduce the size of the clump and digging out the unwanted plants
