The Variegated Liriope plant (Liriope muscari 'Variegata') is by far one of the most popular liriope. It is also known as Liriope variegated lily-turf, so is, as its name implies, a variegated border grass! The grassy foliage is edged with creamy yellow to light up your garden.
Also known as Lilyturf, these forms purple-blue blooms, similar to Grape Hyacinths, that appear on top the tidy plants in late summer or early fall. Pollinators adore these longer lasting blooms! The flowers are followed by very dark purple, almost black, berries.
These smaller dwarf plants can remain evergreen in warmer climates. Tuck into container gardens and use in small spaces for space-saving color and fringe. Cottage and pollinator gardens in the shade get a lovely finishing touch.
Planting and Application:
Variegated Liriope works extremely well as a border plant, especially along sidewalks and pathways. Their graceful grassy appearance adds softness and elegance along edges and eases the transition from lawn to garden beds. This Variegated Liriope is excellent for edging and ground covers; when planting, space 12-15" apart. The bright variegated leaves make a super living mulch and plant that highlights partially shaded beds and brings a sense of light into darker plantings.
Use in containers and around water features for graceful elegance! Liriope is one of the best choices for a care-free attractive erosion control in soggy soil. Try a few at the end of the gutters, fringing your patio, encircling a mailbox or flag pole, or in your Rain Garden!
