The name of this Japanese selection means "white dragon" which describes the evergreen leaves which are edged in white, occasionally with additional striping or double-striping. This carefree groundcover is so versatile it can grow in sun or shade. Near the end of autumn, tiny cobalt fruits appear adding a little late-season zing. Ophiopogon j. `Hakuryu' is sometimes sold under the name 'Pamela Harper' the wonderful garden writer and photographer who introduced it to the public.
