Ophiopogon jaburan Vittatus (Giant Lilyturf)

Noted for its luminous variegated foliage, Ophiopogon jaburan 'Vittatus' (Giant Lilyturf) is a giant Mondo Grass forming dense tufts of arching, ribbon-like, cream to yellow striped leaves. Racemes of small, lilac-tinted white flowers emerge amid the leaves in summer before giving way to electric berries along the flowering scapes. Reminiscent of Liriope, this charming evergreen grass is tough, durable and perfect for adding texture to the garden. Quite pleasing to the senses as it ripples in the wind, Giant Lilyturf  is a great choice for mass plantings and makes an excellent, long-lasting groundcover. Lovely as an accent clump or for edging.
