Product Description

Ophiopogon ‘Kyoto Dwarf’ is a compact, evergreen perennial known for its fine, dark green, grass-like foliage that forms dense, tidy clumps. Ideal as a low-maintenance groundcover, border edging, or container plant, it produces small lilac flowers in summer, followed by glossy black berries. Its slow, compact growth makes it perfect for modern South African gardens, rockeries, and shaded areas where subtle texture and year-round greenery are desired.
