When is a grass not a grass? The answer is Black Mondo Grass, a Japanese native, and surprisingly, a relative of Asparagus. Its leathery purple-black grassy leaves grow in a slowly spreading dense mat. Short racemes of pinkish white bell shaped flowers give away its status as "Not a grass" in summer. These become black berries by fall. Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit
