Black mondo grass. Purples and black in the garden have become the new beige, dark colors being the perfect contrast and background for just about anything. This small lily relative grows only to about 6" in height, spreading contentedly if given plenty of moisture. The black, evergreen leaves and small lilac flowers make any brightly colored object stand out and look wonderful with your new goth look -- white powered makeup not included. Full sun to deep shade; a bit slow growing either way. Upper USDA zone 6.

A really striking accent or groundcover, the 10"leaves of this grass-like perennial are green when new but turn purplish-black when mature ; spread to form attractive clumps; pinkish-white flower spikes in summer are a bonus. Sun-Shade/Med
