Description
Variegated Liriope, also known as Lily Turf or Monkey Grass, is one of the toughest landscape plants in the world. Stomp on it, drive over it with your car, cut it back to the ground…heck, we’ve accidentally sprayed it with glyphosate-based weed killers such as Roundup and it didn’t die. That said, we don’t advise spraying it with any broad spectrum weed killers. Unlike other Liriope varieties that spread where they aren’t wanted, ‘Variegata’ forms neat clumps which gradually increase in size over time. In other words, you won’t see runners popping up 2 feet away from the plant!Â
Variegated Liriope sports some very attractive variegated leaves of white to creamy yellow with a dark green strip down the center. Lilac-lavender flower spikes resembling hyacinths rise above the clumps of grass-like foliage in summer, adding extra appeal.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a clump 12 to 15 inches tall and spreading 15 to 18 inches wide over time, Variegated Liriope is ideal for use as a low-maintenance edging along walkways and paths and the perimeters of patios and garden beds. For outstanding splashes of color, plant it in patches or mass plantings as a groundcover in landscape borders and home foundations. A very nice underplanting for small trees such as upright Japanese Maples and Crape Myrtles, which bloom at almost the same time during summer. Provides a nice grassy texture and color in combination container gardens.Â
Suggested Spacing:Â 12 to 15″ apart for use as a solid border or groundcover; 24 inches or more apart for space between plants.

How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?
Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of  USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Liriope variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Variegated Liriope grows well in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun or shade. Established plants tolerate periods of dry soil. Plants can be cut back or mowed in late winter before new leaves begin to emerge from the ground.

Plants arrived ahead of schedule??. Very healthy and well packed. I planted them during hot weather, but they didn’t seem to suffer at all. Winter is coming, and it will be interesting to see how they fare in below-freezing temperatures. I’m located in zone 4.
