Where to buy mondo grass (Ophiopogon Japonicus)?
I am really keen to get some "standard" mondo grass, but this does not seem possible in the UK. Any advice/ideas?
To be clear, I do not want black mondo grass (Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens'), or dwarf mondo grass (Ophiopogan japonicus Nanus et al.), just normal stuff that forms nice ever-green tufts.
The first person to fin me a UK supplier with stock wins an imaginary biscuit.

I have the nigrescens and the other one is similar sized in same shady dry conditions.
As the black one is planiscapus too . It might be? Ours has nice white flowers.

It is amazingly difficult to work out which plant is which as every website and garden centre is lazy about providing it's full name. I need to find a garden centre that understands the family better.
Or I could steal a few from Kew Gardens - if you are ever their, the Japanese gardens uses them really effectively.
Thank you!
