My Black Lab ate my Black Mondo Grass!
I thought she was playing with a Crow feather and was thinking, "Good Dog!" Until I went out and had a look around for the bird. It was the center tuft of my Black Mondo grass!!!! She took the middle right out of it. Stupid dog.

I'm sorry about your black grass, it's a pain when pets are naughty.
But, black grass is something I can't come to terms with, it just looks like dead grass to me. Am I alone in feeling this way?

Yes, it looks better in summer than winter.

I like the black mondo, and set it amongst the yellow-chartreuse creeping-jenny (Lysismachia mummularia aurea- spelling?). The grass that really looks dead to me is the bronze one, might be a Carex/sedge? Had a great one from datdog, but it did not survive the winter. It was actually bronze-brown, like a dead clump, but cool with blue-color grasses as companions.

The coolest thing about the bronze sedge was the flower heads. They were all underneath the droopy foliage, and hidden within it. I kept parting it o look for them. I flattopped mine when I trimmed it, not knowing how to prune it, so we'll see what happens. So far, because it is always brown, I can't tell if it is still living. CHAR
