Liriope muscari ‘LIRF’ Isabella®

Lily-turf

USDA Zone: 6-9

Plant number: 1.322.170

Extremely popular in the southern U.S. as groundcover plants, these are now becoming known elsewhere, and valued for their versatility. Plants offer a one-mow-per-year lawn alternative and form a clump of dark-green grass-like foliage, bearing spikes of tiny pink, lily-type flowers in summer. Evergreen. If plants look shabby in spring, trim the leaf tips with sharp scissors, or just mow back hard. Easily divided in spring. Where hardy, this is an excellent choice for edging, in rock gardens, or in mixed containers. Very tolerant of summer heat and humidity. USPP#20622: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
