New! Liriope gigantum

liriope_in_frlower Liriope gigantum – Turf Lily

Liriope is a beautiful, evergreen grassy type ground cover. It bears gorgeous little purple flowers and grows to 50-70cm tall, and 50cm wide. The strappy leaves are dark green, glossy and narrow.

Liriope, or Turf Lily is very tough and adaptable. It thrives without care in almost any garden. It is well suited to growing in pots, as a ground cover or as a border around a garden. Liriope is also often used as a lawn substitute, it doesn’t require anywhere near as much water as the lawn does to look good! Liriope is best grown ‘en masse’, with a whole bunch planted all together for maximum effect.

Liriope is best grown in full sun to part shade. It prefers well draining soil and is highly drought tolerant. Once established, this plant does not require any maintenance or water. You can lift and divide Liriope clumps, and plant the divisions elsewhere to create additional plants.
