Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens' – Black Mondo Grass
Plant profile
Sweet, fragrant texture for meadow-style planting.
Anthoxanthum odoratum, commonly known as Sweet Vernal Grass, is a fragrant perennial grass valued for its vanilla-scented blades, airy spring flowers, and soft naturalistic movement in the landscape.
Why we love it
- Sweet vanilla fragrance when dried or crushed
- Airy white flowers from spring into early summer
- Excellent for meadow gardens and naturalistic borders
- Soft upright movement without overwhelming the garden
- Useful for dried arrangements and textural planting schemes
Landscape Uses
Beautiful in meadow-style gardens, naturalistic borders, cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and soft foreground drifts where fragrance and movement matter.
Growing Guide
