Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Ebony Knight'
A real show stopper! Dark ebony blades of grass compliment almost anything. This unusual variety has almost black leaves and clusters of pink flowers. Slow-growing, great for contrast with lightly colored plants.
Beautiful ornamental grass. Plant North side (protected area) or under shade (protected). Slightly sensitive to cold.
