Uses

Ornamental plants for shade

Under trees, in inner courtyards or on the shady side of a building, lawn rarely thrives. Our liriopes and Mondo Grass grow in partial and full shade and look green and tidy all year.

Why choose them?

  • Grow under trees and in courtyards
  • Green foliage all year
  • Minimal maintenance
  • Pair well with stones and paths
