Black Mondo Grass

Want a plant that looks like it came from another dimension? Black Mondo Grass brings a deep, inky drama to any garden. Its glossy, jet-black, grass-like foliage creeps slowly into dense, low-growing clumps, creating a striking contrast against bright greens, silvers, and whites. In summer, delicate pale lavender flowers rise above the dark blades, followed by small, glossy black berries in fall. This evergreen, deer-resistant groundcover thrives in borders, pathways, containers, and modern landscapes, bringing a moody, high-impact vibe with zero effort.

Watering

Watering Needs:

Keep soil evenly moist
  • Light: Thrives in partial shade to full sun; best color develops in brighter light.
  • Soil: Prefers moist, well-draining soil; tolerates sandy and loamy conditions.
  • Watering: Keep evenly moist but not waterlogged; drought-tolerant once established.
  • Maintenance: Cut back tired foliage in early spring for fresh new growth.
  • Hardiness: Hardy to USDA zones 6-10—cold-tolerant and heat-resistant.
  • Additional Tips: Perfect for borders, rock gardens, and mass plantings. Evergreen, spreads slowly, and pairs beautifully with bright-colored plants.
