’Big Blue’ is an evergreen perennial with tall, thin grass-like foliage with tall spikes of lavender/violet/blue, hyacinth-like blooms in late summer to autumn, followed by dark blue (almost black) berries.

Outstanding as a container plant, lush border or pathway edging, in mass plantings, and under large trees - particularly lovely when in bloom. Grasslike in appearance and habit, but not a grass at all -- actually, it’s a member of the lily family. Native to Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, and China.

Grows best in medium shade in loose, light soil that is fertile and well drained, but also grows from full sun to dry, deep shade. A classic iron tough perennial for difficult sites. Spreads slowly by stolons. Deer resistant and drought tolerant, requires no care. Mature height 12"-15", spacing 6-9 inches.
