Dwarf Monkey Grass Seeds - Flower Plant

Dwarf Monkey Grass seeds produce compact grass like perennial plants commonly used for borders, edging, and low growing groundcover applications. Known in the United States as dwarf lilyturf, these plants form dense clumps of narrow green foliage that perform well in shaded and partially shaded garden areas. They are commonly planted along walkways, around trees, and in landscape borders where a tidy low maintenance appearance is desired. Once established, the plants develop a spreading habit with seasonal flower spikes and dense foliage coverage.
