| Botanical Name | Ophiopogon japonicus 'Nana' |
| Description | This compact, tufted groundcover is a Houston landscape staple for shady areas. It features dark green, grass-like blades that create a lush, carpet-like effect. While it is adaptable to different soil types, 'Dwarf Mondo' thrives in moist, well-draining organic soil. It can struggle in heavy, compacted clay if drainage is poor, so amending with compost is recommended for best performance in the metro area. |
| Exposure | Part Shade to Full Shade. |
| Height x Width | 2-4 inches Tall x 4-6 inches Wide |
| Water | Regular; prefers consistently moist soil. |
| Zones | 6-11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a general-purpose, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. |
| Pruning | None required; remove dead blades as needed. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
