Forming dense clumps of arching green leaves, it is widely used for edging pathways, underplanting trees and creating low maintenance borders with a neat, structured appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThrough mid to late summer, Tall Mondo Grass produces small white to pale lilac flowers hidden amongst the foliage, followed by decorative dark blue to navy berries. While subtle, these seasonal details add extra texture and interest to shaded garden areas. The rich green foliage remains attractive year-round and gradually spreads to form a dense carpet over time.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nTall Mondo Grass is particularly useful in areas where traditional lawn struggles, especially beneath established trees or in deep shade. Its tidy growth habit makes it ideal for dividing pathways, softening hard landscaping and filling difficult planting spaces. It also performs well in pots, courtyard gardens and Japanese-style landscapes where texture and simplicity are key features. Once established, it is very hardy and adaptable to a range of soil conditions and climates.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMature size: approximately 25 centimetres high × 50 centimetres wide\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Growing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPlant Ophiopogon japonicus in deep shade to semi-sun positions.
