Dwarf Mondo Grass Individual Plants

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
(Based on 75mm width)

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

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, thrives in most soil types and is frost tolerant. You can grow Dwarf Mondo in both Full Sun or Full Shade.

Mondo Grass is normally grown as an ornamental grass and makes an excellent ground cover. You will receive Dwarf Mondo Plants similar to the plants in the image at left. Mondo Grass will flourish in very sunny locations or in full shade; tolerate poor soils, over watering or over fertilizing. It multiplies rapidly to form a dense, dark green border. It also looks fabulous planted en-masse in your garden.

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
