Ophiopogon jaburan, commonly known as Mondo Grass, is a hardy, evergreen, clumping grass-like perennial with narrow, arching deep green foliage. It forms dense, low-growing tufts, making it an excellent ground cover or border plant. In summer, it produces delicate lavender to white flowers, followed by small blue berries, adding a subtle ornamental appeal.

Reaching a mature height of 40-60 cm, this versatile plant is perfect for shady or sunlit areas, thriving in a variety of soil types. It is low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and excellent for erosion control.
