As groundcovers around trees and buildings
  Choosing a groundcover to go under trees can be tricky as one side of the tree will be shady and the other side can be hot and sunny. Mondo grass and Bongo Borders� Liriope thrive in sun or shade and can create a wonderful evergreen groundcover. By choosing between mini mondo (10cm tall), tall mondo (30cm tall) and Bongo Borders� Liriope (80cm tall) you can choose the groundcover that will grow to the correct height to form a rich green display that looks good all year round. For an informal groundcover look try planting tall mondo grass with a few Bongo Borders� Liriope scattered throughout to create contrast and texture.

Creating a central feature
When you are planing your garden to include a large rock statue, a water feature or a feature tree, you may want these features to really stand out and make an important statement in your garden design. Planting flowers lessen the significance of a feature as the flowers may compete with the feature, when in flower, and detract when not in flower. Mondo grass and Bongo Borders� Liriope are ideal border plants to plant around features as they don’t detract from your feature. With Mondo grass and Bongo Borders� Liriope you can choose the height of the border required and have an evergreen contrast in terms of height that will compliment any garden feature and not compete or detract from that feature.

Pots and Planters

The perfect filler
