Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Thin blades of green and white, grassy foliage in 6″-12″ mounds. Semi-evergreen with insignificant blooms. Easy to grow in sun and shade with average, well-drained soils.
Exceptionally useful small scale groundcover or pot filler, this little Mondo, to 5-6" in height, slowly spreading, with threadlike green and white striped foliage, appearing silvery white from a distance, pale blue flowers and translucent purple fruit, useful among other larger plantings, stepping stones, or as contrast for dark foliage. Shade to 3/4 sun in our part of the world, would like reasonably moist soil, though can dry out in summer once established. USDA zone 7, if not 6.
