    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    One of Darrell Probst's collections from China which he gave us of this excellent Mondo Grass which has done nothing but perform in our shade garden. A dense mound of grassy rich green curved blades on a slowly increasing mound that in 10 years is some 2 feet across. Let me total up the hours of maintenance expended on this during that time............that would be zero. We have done nothing but water and mulch it and all this has done is grow and look great all the time.
