Bulk Dwarf Mondo Grass Trays

HOW MANY PLANTS DO I NEED?

Garden Borders, Garden Edging, Pathway Edging

If you are Planting Dwarf Mondo Grass as a Border, most clients work on 30 to 40 plants per lineal metre

If your border measures 10 lineal metres, and you decided on 30 Dwarf Mondo Grass plants per lineal metre, you would require:
10 metres x 30 plants = 300 plants = $289.00 including postage

If you decided on 40 plants per lineal metre you would require:
10 metres x 40 plants = 400 plants = $387.00 including postage
(Based on 75mm width)

Pavers, Stepping Stones, Crazy Paving

If you are Planting Dwarf Mondo Grass Between Pavers, most clients work on 30 to 40 plants per lineal metre, based on a 75 mm gap between the pavers.

With pavers you need to add up the total length of all the rows in between the pavers.
Similarly, if the total length of all the rows came to 30 metres and you decided on 30 plants per lineal metre, you would require:
30 metres x 30 plants = 900 plants = $860.00 including postage

If you decided on 40 plants per lineal metre you would require:
30 metres x 40 plants = 1200 plants = $1150.00 including postage

If you happened to buy the Bulk Dwarf Mondo Grass Trays you could then simply add the Dwarf Mondo Grass Strips into the gaps of your pavers

Let’s garden is 1 metre wide by 2 metre long = 2 square metres = 600 plants = $578.00 including postage

If your garden is 3 metre wide by 2 metre long = 6 square metres = 1800 plants = $1710.00 including postage.

WHAT IS DWARF MONDO?

Dwarf Mondo Grass, also known as Mini Mondo Grass, Miniature Mondo Grass and Dwarf Lilyturf is a species of Ophiopogon native to Japan and loved in Australia due to its Drought Resistance.

It is a hardy plant with shiny dark green leaves that will tolerate very dry conditions and is frost tolerant. You can grow Dwarf Mondo Grass in both Full Sun or Full Shade.

Dwarf Mondo is normally grown as an ornamental plant and makes an excellent ground cover. You will receive similar to the plants in the image at left.

Dwarf Mondo will flourish in full sun or shade; tolerate poor soils, over watering or over fertilizing. It multiplies rapidly to form a dense, dark green border. It also looks fabulous when planted en-masse.

If you are not a gardener then Dwarf Mondo is the plant for you – Dwarf Mondo needs virtually no maintenance and will multiply quickly to form a beautiful garden border.

Dwarf Mondo grows to approximately 75mm (3″) tall and makes a very trendy Landscape Grass as it can be planted around pavers, concrete tiles and slabs or in rockeries to soften the sometimes harsh appearance of these structures.

Our Ornamental Grasses

Both Zoysia tenuifolia and Ophiopogon Japonicus Nana have many ‘Common Names’ which has made it difficult to establish which plant to purchase, until now that is!

What is Zoysia Tenuifolia?

Here is an article written in the Sydney Morning Herald:  Zoysia Makes a Brilliant Green No mow Lawn.

Written by Robin Powell, this article sings the praises of Zoysia Tenuifolia. Robin describes Zoysia and mentions Just Grass and my good self:

“Keen gardener Graeme Fraser saw it there (Hunter Valley Gardens) in 2009 and loved its free-form, free-flowing look. So when he found it impossible to buy for his own garden, he made a ‘‘note to self: business opportunity”.

He launched Just Grass (tranquilhavens.com.au), an online nursery selling Dwarf Mondo and Zoysia, his true love, by mail-order. Graeme says his success, despite his lack of horticultural experience, is a guarantee to other gardeners of the plant’s adaptability. It grows in sun and shade, only complains if left in soggy soil, and is not particularly expensive.

“If you fancy a brilliant emerald green lawn that doesn’t need mowing, mossy-looking landscapes without the challenge of growing moss, and softness so alluring you can’t keep your hands off it, meet Zoysia tenuifolia. It is the plant set to become this decade’s mondo grass.”                                                                                           Robin Powell – Sydney Morning Herald
