Ophiopogon Nigrescens, commonly known as Black Mondo Grass or Black Lilyturf, is a species of evergreen perennial plant in the Asparagaceae family. It is native to eastern Asia, including regions of Japan and Taiwan.

This striking plant is often grown for its dark-colored, almost black, grass-like leaves and its contrasting light purple to pale pink flowers that emerge in small clusters in the summer. The foliage creates a dense and low-growing mat, making it a popular choice for ground cover in gardens and landscapes.

Black Mondo Grass thrives in partial to full shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil. It is relatively low-maintenance and can be an excellent addition to shaded areas, rock gardens, or borders. The plant is known for its ability to tolerate a wide range of growing conditions, including some drought tolerance once established.
