You simply choose the right height plant for your needs to create a dense, rich, glossy green border that never needs trimming.
Tall Mondo Grass grows to 9-10 inches long and spreads quickly to create a dense evergreen border with a soft look that compliments many gardens. | Hylotelephium spectabile 'Autumn Joy'
