    Ophiopogon japonicus ‘Variegata’ displays compact mounds of grass-like, white and green variegated leaves. Tiny spikes of pale lavender flowers appear in summer. Very easy to grow. Deer resistant. Ornamental Grasses are low maintenance and grow well in most soil types. They look beautiful, adding color, height, and movement to your garden.
