When you think about what it is, a teeny wee plant with dull, almost black leaves and occasional blue flowers, ophiopogon planiscarpus nigrescens is a bit OTT.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Ah, are omphaloides and omphalodes different. -oides means 'looks like', right? So omphaloides look like omphalodes. I remember Monty saying how lovely the -oides were and I have tried many times to grow from seed and failed every time. The -oides seem quite hard to find as grown plants. I'd love to grow it just so that I can say 'umph-a-loi-dees' a lot.
