Ophiopogon chingii P9

Think of Ophiopogon chingii as the grass that isn’t really grass—it’s actually a lily in disguise, bringing fine, dark green tufts of narrow leaves that stay neat, tidy, and evergreen year-round. In summer, it surprises with small white-lilac flowers, followed by bright blue metallic berries like tiny garden jewels.

Growing to a compact 10–15cm tall and slowly spreading to form low, elegant clumps, it’s perfect for edging, ground cover, or between stepping stones. Thrives in part to full shade with moist, well-drained soil. Low-maintenance and deer-proof, it’s the quiet overachiever of the garden—small in size, big on charm, and never demands a haircut.
