Creating a Central Feature

When you are planing your garden to include a large rock statue, a water feature or a feature tree, you usually 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.

The Perfect Filler

Mondo Grass and Bongo Borders Liriope can be used as attractive evergreen fillers as they grow well under and around other plants.

Mondo Grass or Bongo Borders Liriope are the ideal plants to fill these spaces. Choose the height of the filler that would be in proportion with the types of plants you are interplanting with.

Bongo Borders Liriope looks great interplanted with trees and shrubs with tall trunks.
