Liriope muscari ‘Variegata’

Variegated Lily-turf

USDA Zone: 6-9

Plant number: 1.322.200

Lily-turf is a grassy-leaved, evergreen perennial most often used as a groundcover or edging plant in shady places. This selection features leaves striped lengthwise with green and creamy white, bearing short stems of violet-purple flowers, like tiny Grape Hyacinths. 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. Tolerates summer heat and humidity. Evergreen.
