notes
A grass like plant, Ophiopogon Black Dragon, (also known as 'Kokuryu'), is appreciated for its dramatic black strap-like foliage that makes a wonderful ground cover, full of colour and texture. Tough and resilient, it will slowly form a carpet, acting as a matt foil against bold, colourful plants. It does, in fact, bear its own small, purplish flowers, followed by tiny shiny, black berries.
Dimensions
- 2.5L
- Height: up to 50cm (1ft 7in) x 50cm (1ft 7in) over 2-5 years

Insights
Easy to grow and clump forming, Ophiopogon Black Dragon looks fantastic when planted in gravel or as edging to a pathway. It also adds impact when grouped in containers, especially when set against lime or silvery coloured plants. It is a recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.
