We've had some at work since I started, so like a year and a half. So far, only one thing has upset them: the leaf tips go brown if they're exposed to hot, dry air for long periods, so we don't put them in front of the heaters anymore. I've got a couple at home now, one Ophiopogon japonicus 'Cassidy' (has plain green leaves that curl at the ends) and one Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens.' Right now, they're about eight inches below an ordinary fluorescent shop light, and that's enough that the black one's leaves are coming in black (in lower light the new growth is green). They've both been much further away from the shop lights before without anything bad happening, though I don't think I asked them to do that for more than a few months. Some of the plants at work have had to go for very long periods in moderate to low light before, though, without seeming to care particularly. I can't figure out why they're not grown indoors more often: they're not any more boring to look at than, say, spider plants, and they're only marginally more difficult to propagate. If there's a catch somewhere, I haven't seen it yet, and I've had my plants at home for a year ('Cassidy') or six months ('Nigrescens'). On the PATSP 0-10 scale, they rate between -0.3 and +0.7, depending on how generous I'm feeling. Also I think they're supposed to be hardy to zone 6. Or at least I think 'Nigrescens' is.

Yes, that was my first thought, but I was hoping it wasn't true. So does anyone know if mondo grass is some kind of hybrid plant that can only be propagated from divisions and offsets?

I have some of the brugs you request in trade for black mondo. I have some black mondo, but it is so slow to spread that I can use more. We could probably expand the trade, if you would like.

HomeAdvisor are the biggest scammers in US history and need to be shut down. HomeAdvisor are spamming the internet and search engines with hundreds of fake websites to manipulate consumers and manipulate search engine results. Some examples of HomeAdvisor's hundreds of fake websites are home-siding-contractors.com, 1800contractor.com, handymanservice.com, jensonbrothers.com, starsproservices.com, and powellandsons.com. The construction industry and local economies are being ruined by these bombardment of scams, lies, and deceit from HomeAdvisor and it will only get much worse if nothing is done to stop them. Sometimes as much as over three-fourths of the 1st page search results are all HomeAdvisor and HomeAdvisor's fake websites, which makes it extremely unfair for construction businesses and independent contractors. Often all 3 ads on the 1st page search results are homeadvisor.com, jensonbrothers.com, and powellandsons.com, all 3 of which are websites controlled by HomeAdvisor and is blatant gross anticompetitive manipulation. HomeAdvisor are also writing thousands of fake reviews of their competitors and of themselves. HomeAdvisor are also writing thousands of fake positive reviews of themselves on ConsumerAffairs, Google, the App Store, and Google Play. HomeAdvisor is the worst rated company on the BBB in history with over 2,000 bad reviews from the last 3 years and a horrible average 1 star out of 5 stars rating as of the beginning of the year 2020, but starting the summer of 2020 HomeAdvisor has also begun to write hundreds of fake positive reviews of themselves on the BBB and on ResellerRatings to cheat and alter their ratings. HomeAdvisor is by far the most unethical, unfair, dishonest, and malicious corporation in America. HomeAdvisor uses every scam and dirty trick they can think of. Brandon Ridenour, Deb Ridenour, and the rest of the people behind HomeAdvisor need to be at the very least sentenced to life in prison. Angry contractors, let HomeAdvisor's CEO know that HomeAdvisor will not be tolerated.
