DWARF MONDO GRASS — PLANTING & CARE GUIDE
Your Dwarf Mondo Grass will arrive as bare-root plant divisions (bibs). These may look small when they arrive, but with proper planting and care they will establish and gradually spread into a beautiful, low-growing ground cover.
HOW TO PLANT
UNPACK
Open your package as soon as possible after delivery. Remove the plants from the packaging and inspect the roots.
KEEP ROOTS MOIST
If you cannot plant immediately, keep the roots slightly moist and store the plants in a cool, shaded location. Do not allow the roots to dry completely or leave them submerged in water.
PREPARE THE SOIL
Remove weeds and existing grass from the planting area. Loosen the soil so the roots can establish easily. Dwarf Mondo prefers well-drained soil.
PLANT
Dig a small hole large enough for the roots. Place the roots downward into the soil and position the crown—the area where the roots meet the green foliage—at approximately soil level.
Do not bury the crown too deeply.
Gently firm the soil around each plant.
SPACING
Choose your spacing based on how quickly you want the area to fill in.
• 4–6 inches apart — Faster, denser coverage
• 6–8 inches apart — Economical spacing for larger areas
• Wider spacing — More coverage initially, but additional time will be needed for the plants to fill in
Dwarf Mondo spreads naturally over time through underground runners.
WATER
Water thoroughly immediately after planting.
Keep the soil consistently moist while the plants are becoming established, especially during hot or dry weather. Avoid keeping the soil constantly saturated.
Once established, Dwarf Mondo generally requires less frequent watering.
LIGHT REQUIREMENTS
Dwarf Mondo performs especially well in:
• Partial shade
• Filtered sunlight
• Areas beneath trees
• Shaded landscape beds
• Morning sun with afternoon shade
It can tolerate varying light conditions, but protection from intense afternoon sun can be beneficial in very hot climates.
ONCE ESTABLISHED
Dwarf Mondo is an excellent choice for:
• Walkway borders
• Landscape edging
• Under trees
• Shaded beds
• Between stepping stones
• Mass ground-cover plantings
• Low-maintenance landscapes
It forms a low-growing, grass-like evergreen ground cover and gradually spreads to create a fuller appearance.
