Liriope Big Blue is an attractive, tufted evergreen perennial groundcover with arching, grass like foliage. Liriope Big Blue as abundant blue flower spikes rise above the foliage in summer followed by clusters of black berries. Big Blue is superior for edging or borders for partially shaded areas. Liriope Big Blue prefers moist, but not wet soils, and tolerates drier conditions when established. It grows 12 - 15 inches tall and wide in partial sun or shade. Once established these plants are virtually maintenance free.

Care Instructions:

They like moist, loamy soil with lime and leaf mold. We like them as ground covers for deciduous shrubs, conifers, or broad-leafed evergreens, and when possible plant them in an elevated spot to admire their nodding flowers.

Facts about Liriope:

Liriope can be used as a groundcover under trees and shrubs and as a massed planting on slopes and banks. Liriope muscari and its cultivars can also be used as low edging plants along paved areas or in front of foundation plantings.

Liriope is remarkably tough. It will grow in deep shade or full sun, sand or clay. It can endure heat, drought and salt spray, but will not take “wet feet”; it requires moist, well-drained soil. Flowers are produced most freely in a sunny location.

Space the plants about 1 foot apart when planting. As the plants grow and mature, they can be dug and separated — usually this is done every 3 or 4 years if you want to increase your plants. Division is rarely necessary for the health of the plant.

You should mow off the foliage of these ground covers in late winter before growth starts with a lawnmower set at the highest possible cutting height. Be sure not to injure the crown of the plant when you mow. It is important to prune liriope before spring growth begins.
