More Information

Description Lilyturf, known botanically as Liriope spicata, is a fast-growing evergreen groundcover that spreads quickly to form a thick carpet of graceful arching narrow green foliage. This grassy leaf spreading perennial forms a tight mat and fills in quickly. Spikes of lavender, pale violet flowers bloom in late summer. Lilyturf is an aggressive weed-suppressing groundcover that likes part sun to shady locations in almost any kind of well-drained soil from clay to gravel. Nothing seems to slow this plant down! It thrives in heat, cold, humidity and is resistant to diseases. Plus, it's drought tolerant once established. Colonies spread and compete ably against tree roots. It's ideal for banks and slopes to control erosion.

Great Plants - Excellent Price for the 32-Landscape Plugs

I purchased 2 flats of the Lilyturf (1x in June and 1x in August in zone 7a). All 64 plants are thriving. However, the root structure was quite well developed and many of the plants were root-bound so I took the time to pry apart the roots and in select cases needed to cut some. It took a bit of time, but that effort paid off well. While the deer don’t eat them, I find that the deer occasionally pull out some of the plants, and then abandon them after deciding they don’t want to eat them, so I have to keep an eye on these to re-plant the would-be deer food. We have a lot of deer in the area.
