mondo black grass
Mondo black grass is a striking, low-growing perennial loved by New Zealand gardeners for its dramatic foliage and easy-care nature. With its slender, arching leaves in deep purple-black, this grass brings unique colour and texture to landscaping projects, urban gardens, and even container plantings. Popular as a dense groundcover or a bold border, mondo black grass is especially valued for its ability to contrast beautifully with lush green foliage or vibrant flowering plants.
