Commonly known as Monkey Grass or Lilyturf, National Plant Network Variegated Liriope forms a dense green and yellow variegated groundcover with a grass-like appearance. The liriope plant bears striking spikes of lavender flowers in summer and naturalizes nearly any setting. Thriving in difficult areas and a wide range of climates, this low-growing perennial is an excellent problem-solver for the landscape. Its compact, clumping habit is perfect between pavers, in borders, or as a "spiller" in mixed containers. This remarkably tough plant is virtually maintenance-free and heat and drought tolerant once established.
