  • Evergreen perennial
  • Grows 8 to 16 inches tall
  • Leaves are dark green

Mondo grass is primarily used as a groundcover.  It is also attractive as a border along paths, between stepping stones or flowerbed and lawn, or in rock gardens.  It grows well along streams and around garden ponds.  Mondo grass competes well with the roots of other plants.  Under trees or shrubs, it makes an excellent shade-tolerant lawn that never needs mowing.
