Ophiopogon planiscapus 'nigrescens' 1.4 litre pot

Ophiopogon planiscapus nigrescens

Description

Vivacious plant. Leaves 10/15-cm long and 0.4 cm wide. Strong tuft delivered in a 1.4 litre pot.

Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’ is the “Black mondo grass”, an herbaceous perennial in the Asparagaceae family, and its grass-like blades are very black when it grows in full-sun. Small white-to-pink flowers bloom on leafless stems that rise above the foliage. Even if there are few, they are followed by glossy pea-sized purple berries. The name ophiopogon comes from Greek ophis meaning “serpent” and “pogon” meaning “beard”. Planiscarpus refers to the flattened scape or flowers stalk;

for example a tulip blooms a top a scape (from Latin scapus for “shaft”). Mondo grass is also commonly known as lilyturf, but the “mondo” name is an older genus name of unexplained origin, certainly not a japanese one. Ophiopogon’s name in Japan is , meaning “black dragon”.koku ryu
