Ophiopogon 'Little Tabby' (Little Tabby Mondo Grass)

Light Shade to ShadeZone: 6-9 6" tall Origin: Japan

Web-Only! We were thrilled to first introduce this fantabulous mondo grass (unidentified species) to the US gardening market. We first obtained our plants nearly 20 years ago, after they were brought from Japan in 1974 by plantsman Barry Yinger. O. 'Little Tabby' is, without question, the finest of the variegated mondo grasses. In 5 years, this slow-growing clump spreads only to 8" wide. The 1/4" wide leaves are heavily striped green and creamy white and remain looking great all through the year. In her book, "Time Tested Perennials," garden writer Pam Harper extols the virtues of this selection: "I give ten marks out of ten"...'nuff said! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
