More about this plant
Mondo grass is a grass-like evergreen ground cover that grows up to 1 foot tall and wide in low mounds, spreading by runners into a mat, with hidden summer flowers followed by cobalt blue fruits. It prefers shade and moist, well-drained soil but tolerates sun, is highly salt tolerant and resists deer and foot traffic.
