Ophiopogon Japonicus Var. Intermedius

Ophiopogon japonicus var. intermedius is a lesser-known member of the Asparagaceae family that thrives in shaded, moist environments. This variant is distinguished by its dense, grass-like foliage and unique floral structure that sets it apart from its more common relatives. Native to East Asia, it has been cultivated for its ornamental value and traditional medicinal uses. Its adaptability makes it a popular choice for gardeners seeking low-maintenance, shade-tolerant plants. Despite its beauty, it remains underappreciated in modern horticulture.
