How to grow mondo grass

When to plant mondo grass

Mondo grass (dwarf lilyturf) is a grass-like, mounding broadleaf-evergreen groundcover that spreads by runners to form a soft mat, with hidden pale lilac flowers in summer (NC State) and cobalt-blue berries in fall. Plant or divide in spring or fall in moist, well-drained soil in shade to full sun; as a turf alternative for shady areas it can be mowed once a year.

Mondo Grass is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
