Yes, black mondo is a dwarf about 6-7 in. high. Winter hardy in our zone, another 4 season plant that remains quite attractive through the cold. Other then in winter, these plants prefer shade to partial sun. It is pretty rare as I haven't seen it sold anywhere except mailorder or on line. You can also use it for indoor containers I found out, as I bring some of my stock plants in for the winter, so they can keep on growing. Lighting for them doesn't seem to be a problem , as they don't seem to care if they have much or not. I have found most indoor plants seem to prefer quite a bit of light.
In the garden I usually like to plant some with creeping jenny in partial shade and with the spreading lime green color of jenny and black grass, it makes an outstanding addition to the garden.
