Ophiopogon japonicus 'Nana' is a dwarf form of regular mondo grass and half the size. Clumping, dark green, grass-like leaves make a beautiful ground cover or low border. The dense, linear foliage spreads slowly by tuber roots and stolons. Inconspicuous summer-blooming tiny spikes of pale lilac flowers are usually hidden among the foliage.
How tall and wide does Dwarf Mondo Grass grow?
It grows 2–4 inches tall and spreads slowly by underground runners to form a dense, tufted mat. Its tidy growth habit makes it ideal for small spaces or edging.
When does Dwarf Mondo Grass bloom?
It produces small, pale lavender to white flowers in summer, followed by shiny black berries. The blooms are subtle but add seasonal interest.
What kind of sunlight and soil does it prefer?
Dwarf Mondo Grass grows well in partial shade to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It tolerates full sun in cooler climates if kept evenly watered.
How much water does it need?
Water regularly during the first growing season to help it establish. Once mature, it’s moderately drought-tolerant and thrives with occasional deep watering.
