Notes
'Nana' mondo grass (Ophiopogon japonicus 'Nana') is a groundcover for borders, rock gardens, and shade gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It stays green all year, so it adds winter interest. It also handles drought and salt well.
Pairs well with Autumn fern, Azalea, and Society garlic.
