Ophiopogon 'Sparkler'
This delicate fine-leafed dwarf mondo grass charmer is sure to be a hit as border edging in the garden. The narrow, deep blue-green leaves, lighter underneath, are a very attractive feature compared to the traditional look. Sparkler's tousled upright foliage provides a backdrop to the crisp white flowers which later develop into attractive iridescent blue berries the size of large peas. New foliage emerges a bright green then darkens with age to a deep dusky hue with a faint black shadow running down the back. 'Sparkler' grows at a slow to moderate rate and is not considered to be an aggressive spreader. With a neat, compact appearance, 'Sparkler' is well suited for edging in the landscape or ground cover. Ideal in combination containers where small grass-like plants are required. Useful size, being intermediate between standard and dwarf mondo grass. Uniform in production.
