Dwarf Mondo Grass (Monkey Grass, Lilyturf)

Example of approximately what these plants look like when shipped. See the eighth photograph of any plant to see a photo of what it looks like when shipped.
Similar to Regular Mondo Grass, this version grows only up to 3" making it absolutely perfect as a turf substitute. A reliable, hardy evergreen with thin blade-like foliage in a dark shade of green, Dwarf Mondo Grass is an excellent groundcover for shady areas where other plants refuse to grow.

It is also used as a well-behaved border, edging or specimen plant. If you want the habit of a Mondo, but in a smaller version, this will suit you beautifully.
