Product Description

Ophiopogon ‘Jaburan’ is a slow-growing, clump-forming evergreen perennial valued for its dark, almost black, strap-like foliage that adds dramatic contrast to gardens. Ideal as a low-maintenance groundcover, border edging, or container plant, it produces small, delicate lilac flowers in summer followed by shiny black berries. Hardy and adaptable, it thrives in shaded or semi-shaded areas, making it perfect for modern South African gardens.
