Dwarf Mondo Centre-pieces

What a fantastic idea!!

Dwarf Mondos grasses make fantastic centre-pieces for your wedding tables.

These classic Japanese plants that have charmed the world over can be found readily all over the country.  This popular grass is a decorative; low growing plant, is easy to grow & comes typically in Black & Green.  If you are interested in using these grasses as centre-pieces, they needn’t cost you a bomb as you really only need to buy a few plants & divide them all up.

A year ago, I brought about a dozen small pots of mondos & divided them all into 4!!  They have grown beautifully.  After 6 months, I gave away 12 small off shoots from only 3 plants.

I purchased my Mondo plants off Trade Me.  Plants can sometimes be purchased for under 0.50c.  At this price and with a little creativity as to your planting holders (even small glass tee-lite holders, small glass jars or pots spray painted gold or silver) decorating your Wedding tables can be a wonderfully in-expensive & an effective way of providing some panache & interest to your tables.

HAPPY MONDO PLANTING!!
