Ophiopogon ‘Nigrescens’

Description

Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’, also known as ‘Black Dragon’, is an extraordinary looking plant, with purple-green leaves that turn jet black when grown in full sun and well-drained soil. Its dwarf habit means it’s easily lost in a border, and so it’s therefore best grown where it can really show-off, container or raised bed. Left undisturbed it slowly forms fair-sized clumps and looks good interplanted with small perennials such as Geranium or Alchemilla mollis.
