notes
This is an unspeakably cool plant. The strappy leaves of the edgy, ornamental grass – Ophiopogon Nigrescens – emerge from the ground a magical bottle green, before turning a bewitchingly inky black with textured striations. Delicate, pink summer flowers mature into attractive, deep blue/black berries in the autumn. A recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence in the garden.
