Ophiopogon planiscapus (Pot Size 17cm) Black Grass sold by Boma Garden Centre

Ophiopogon planiscapus, known as Black Grass, is an eye-catching evergreen perennial that adds an exotic touch to any UK garden with its deep, almost black foliage. It forms dense tufts of arching leaves that provide excellent ground cover and visual interest throughout the year. This plant is particularly effective in creating contrast when paired with brighter, lighter coloured plants such as silver-leaved perennials or golden grasses.Suitable for growing in borders, rockeries, or as an underplanting for larger, light-coloured shrubs, it provides a dramatic backdrop that highlights the colours and textures of companion plants. Black Grass is also an ideal choice for container planting, where its unique colour can be fully appreciated. Although it produces small, bell-shaped purple flowers in summer, it is primarily grown for its distinctive foliage.
