Ophiopogon umbraticola

£8.55

A rather attractive, compact, relatively low growing plant that makes neat mounds of  narrow evergreen leaves and very occasional pale lilac to white flowers.  Happiest with some shade. Soil not too wet. Height; 10cm – 15cm.

A little looser in habit than Ophiopogon japonicus Minor and more compact than Ophiopogon planiscapus, this plant has seemingly been mis identified as Ophiopogon chingii in cultivation.
