Ophiopogon

Ophiopogon Dwarf Green Mondo Grass

Ophiopogon is a genus of herbaceous perennial plants with about 65 species, native to warm temperate to tropical east, southeast, and south Asia. The name of the genus is derived from Greek ?φις ophis, snake, and π?γ?ν pogon, beard, most probably referring to its leaves and its tuffed growth. It is placed in the family Asparagaceae.

They grow from short rhizomes, and bear tufts of leaves, from which flowers emerge in racemes held on short stems above the leaves.'
