Native to Japan and Korea, it thrives in woodland settings. Small, bell-shaped, white to lilac flowers bloom in summer on short stalks, followed by pea-sized, blue-black berries, often hidden in the foliage. Resembling Liriope but with finer leaves, mondo grass is a low-maintenance ground cover, ideal for shady borders, rock gardens, path edges, or as a no-mow turf alternative.
