Looking for contrast to the usual green grass? The Variegated Mondo Gross is a fast-spreading grass with long strappy green leaves with cream striping forming tufts of slender, grass-like foliage that can spread rapidly once established.
This variety produces contrasting green and cream striped foliage, hence the name Stripey White. During summer, it blooms upright flower spikes with small white flowers. This evergreen mondo grass is a popular border choice for dividing gardens and pathways. Stripey White will also grow as a dense, flat ground cover in areas of deep shade to semi-sun locations.
It flourishes in moist and well-drained soils while tolerating frost and wind.
Ophiopogon Stripey White can grow to a height of 30 cm and a width of 40 cm.
With such a unique combination, this plant works well as a contrasting ground cover and border outlining due to its cream colour, which stands out against any grassy areas, and during spring, the plant sprouts a long flower spike with small white flowers on the tip.
It can be used as a ground cover in partly-shaded and fully-shaded areas and lining grass as a border for garden islands and walls.
