Silver Mist Mondo Grass – 6 Pack Of Pint Pots

Other Names: Variegated Mondo Grass, Silver Mondo Grass, Ophiopogon japonicus ‘Albo-striatus’, Ophiopogon japonicus ‘Aritake’, Ophiopogon japonicus ‘Aritaki’, Ophiopogon japonicus ‘Silver Mist’, Ophiopogon japonicus ‘Variegata’

A shimmering plant that will light up and provide soft texture in shady areas of the garden, Silver Mist Mondo grass forms compact evergreen mounds of thin, variegated dark green and creamy white leaves. The plant does produce short spikes of inconspicuous tiny soft lavender flowers followed by purple berries but this plant is more popular for its outstanding foliage. Very easy to grow and virtually no-maintenance, Silver Mist makes for an excellent border edger, groundcover or underplanting for small trees such as Japanese maples and is a fine accent in container gardens.

Mondo Grass is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and part shade to full shade. Morning and evening sun are okay but it’s best to avoid direct afternoon sunlight. All-day filtered sun is okay. Constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic, though temporary flooding won’t harm the plant. Can be sheared or mowed annually but we rarely touch it.
