Care:

This plant prefers well-drained soil. Soil is well-drained when it allows water to drain through it at a moderate rate, without pooling. Allow the soil to become visibly dry before watering.

Hold back on the fertilizer during the summer season; this plant does not need much of it, if any. Just be sure to start it out in soil that is rich with humus. Black Mondo Grass is not always winter hardy, so you will want to keep it protected in the coldest months of the year. Black foliage color, which some say is the just about the blackest foliage of any perennial, develops best when the plant is located in the sunshine.

Description:

Best known for its grass-like, narrow leaves, Black Mondo Grass is a perennial which is native to Japan. It is actually a member of the Lily family. Its leaves, clumped together in the middle and arching outward, can rise to almost a foot high. This plant is at its best when used in bunches as edging along a garden, sidewalk, stream, rock garden, fairy garden, or entryway. In the summertime, it produces pale pink flowers, and autumn brings inedible berries.
