One of the toughest and most indestructible garden plants - fully hardy, no maintenance required at all, and you can even walk right over them! Ophiopogon, despite being called 'grasses', are actually strappy leaved perennials. This variety is one of the very few so called 'black' plants that produce truly black foliage - year-round matt black backdrops, setting off the bright and vibrant colours of your other flowering plants. They are very slow spreading, carpet-forming plants, and can remain undisturbed for years, slowly forming into good-sized clumps. You can then chop them up with a spade in spring and create many more plants to grow yourself or share with a loved one. Superb when interplanted with small perennials, use them as groundcover, either in shade or sun, drought or wet - they are also great in modern mixed container plantings. Easy to grow and fully hardy, the evergreen colour acts as a fabulous foil for bright gold, orange and lime-shaded flowers. Fully deserving the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that these are proven garden performers, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant these in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come - very versatile little gems! Supplied as a set of three established plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant.
