A variegated perennial mondo grass, with white flowers (finished in this location), happy in sun or shade. With a variegated Ajuga, Cyclamen and a Saxifrage Nachi Mount.

They haven't changed the name of Liriope I hope. Not heard of Astelia before, but if it's a grass or sedge that would account for it.

Lol you never know.
Suppose they are a bit grass like remind me of a phormium a bit, not hardy, I had a lovely silver leaf one 'Silver Spear' for several years until those awful winters that finished off so many plants even in the greenhouse.
Don't you like grasses then Siris ;-)

Yes I do, in the right place, couldn't do with Stipa g much too big, but have some smaller Carex and a something something Schnee..... Would have to look it's name up, these seeds well so I just pull the old ones out! And the variegated gardener's gaiters in a really difficult location, for plants that is.
Ps Little Tabby's flowers are not as good/prominent as the blue Liriope, and I,ve never seen seed, but it produces well behaved runners, good for an edging!

After gene identification in the USA, I believe Liriope and Ophiopogon have been placed in the Asparagus family.

What else?
See who else is growing Ophiopogon planiscapus mondo grass.
See who else has plants in genus Ophiopogon.
That's pretty, thought it was an astelia at first :-)
