Description: Adapted. Compact, clumping evergreen groundcover. Nearly black, grass-like foliage; Small lavender-to-pale-pink summer flowers; followed by glossy black berries, though bloom is subtle compared to foliage appeal. Not a significant source for pollinators. Growth is slower than variegated or green mondo grass. Prefers good drainage and some shade during hottest part of the day. More drought-tolerant than appears once established, though appreciates periodic deep watering. Deer-resistant and evergreen in mild winters; may suffer foliage burn in extreme cold but recovers in spring. Use for smaller-scale plantings, accents, edging, and container use.
