Notes: Variegated Liriope, sometimes called Lilyturf, is easy to grow and multiplies rapidly by underground stems . Tolerates wide range of soils, light conditons and is drought & heat tolerant. However, Liriope does not like "wet feet". Mow Liriope (at highest cutting setting) in early spring to remove old foliage. Best used as a border grass or in massed plantings for ground cover.
Liriope blooms in July to August with lavender, purple or white flower spikes. Although the flowers are individually small, they are very showy, since each plant has many spikes of blooms. Clusters of bluish black berry-like fruit follow the flowers.
