This striking evergreen perennial forms clumps of smooth matt-black, grass-like leaves from which rise dainty stems of contrasting mauve flowers in summer. The bell-shaped blooms are followed by dark inky-blue berries which persist throughout winter for added interest. A stunning contrast to any brightly coloured plant, Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens' is hardy and robust, making a wonderful low-maintenance addition to patio containers, rock gardens, woodland gardens or borders. With a spreading habit, Black Lilyturf is particularly useful as a groundcover plant. Height: 20cm (8). Spread: 30cm (12). Supplied in 9cm pots.
