Hi TT
~Another night owl?
~the proper name is Ophiopogon Planiscarpus Nigrescens ~have been growing this for years and can take some more cuttings if you like-haven't forgotten about the Agapanthus seeds-should be ready to take this week if I can get outside~

This black grass is wonderful! Think they would live in a cabin with my other plants?

Hi GT
~i have found it an easy plant to grow,apparently comes from Japan and Korea and can tolerate full to half sunlight,can be grown in containers. I have some berries on one of the plants outside at the moment-would I be able to send some to you?-the berries are quite hard not soft and and squidgy so would probably be ok for up to a week in the post.I have grown from the berries without any problems.~
nb one of the sites said put outside for the summer so they must be assuming it will be under cover for the winter-however I don't think it needs to be too warm.

Thanks. Yes, please I'd like cuttings and I didn't think you'd forgotten about the Agapanthus seeds.
I've been a bit of a night owl lately because Bonsai, the Welsh Terrier isn't too well again.
