Becomes established most rapidly in well worked, fertile soil, but is tolerant of much less than ideal conditions. This plant is a true survivor and will grow almost anywhere.
Liriope is one of the best and most beautiful ground covers for shady gardens and even boasts summertime color. Because of its dense root mass, liriope is an excellent choice for controlling erosion on steep, shady slopes by stabilizing the soil and suppressing weed growth.
The genera Liriope and Ophiopogon are closely related and there is some confusion over their common names, particularly since some have been renamed recently but are still being sold under their old names.

 Ophiopogon planiscapus
Family: Convallariaceae / Liliaceae
Black Mondo grass, Black Lilyturf, Snakebeard

small shrub 2-5 ftfull sunsemi-shaderegular waterwhite/off-white flowersblue/lavender/purple flowersornamental foliagepink flowerssubtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time
Herbaceous perennial that forms tufted mounds; similar in appearance to Liriope, but the attraction here is the black foliage. Flowers are lavender, blue, pink or whitish; seed-bearing fruits are black.
Grow this novelty as a grasslike groundcover, for border edging, in a rock garden or in containers.
Full sun to partial shade is recommended, but part shade is probably the best place for it to hold its unique coloring. Soils should be kept moist and be of a sandy or loamy composition. An acidic or neutral soil pH is best.
Hardiness: USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9.
