Ophiopogon planiscapus
£3.00Price
purple-green leaves that turn jet black when grown in full sun and well-drained soil. Its dwarf habit means it’s easily lost in a border, and so it’s therefore best grown on a rock garden, container or raised bed. Left undisturbed it slowly forms fair-sized clumps and looks good interplanted with small perennials such as Geranium farreri. It also makes a good foil for dwarf rock garden bulbs in spring.
For best results, and the darkest foliage, grow Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’ in very well-drained soil in full sun.
