Wish list

I think I would like to incorporate the following plants into my garden (this will grow as i learn more).

• black mondo grass (ophiopogon planiscapus 'nigrescens') - slow creeper (thus a bit more expensive). sleek, glossy, year-round good looks. 8-10 inches high. deep ebony blades. effective in containers, edging walkways, or alongside stone or water. have also seen it used as ground cover under trees (e.g., big patches of it in the Japanese Garden in Seattle).
