Lively Root Mondo Grass

4.6

Best low-maintenance choice for pet owners seeking dramatic garden contrast.

This is the ultimate moody accent for a garden that needs a break from standard greenery. While its slow growth requires a bit of patience, the dramatic, near-black foliage provides a level of architectural contrast that typical border plants simply cannot match.
