Lily Turf 'Monroe White' {25 Pots - 3 1/2 in.}
Clusters of tiny pearls strung together tightly about sixteen inch spikes is the only way to describe the rare,
milky
blossoms that appear on Monroe White in late summer to early fall.
This classic Liriope's
blooms
are offset by the deep green leaf blades (3/8-1/2 inch wide) that grow slightly slower than other varieties making this an excellent choice for specimen projects or for areas where you do not want anything invasive.
Lovely ebony berries (a bird feast!) add to the jeweled effect when flowers are spent. This low-maintenance, evergreen assists with erosion control on slopes and is an excellent option for planting around tree bases where roots may impede other grasses. Take note that Monroe White prefers full shade and well-drained soil. As a border, edging or ground cover, you achieve rich depth of color, a swaying texture and elegant blossoms. If you need the functionality of a Monkey Grass but the sophistication of an English country garden, Monroe White is the perennial for you. Things to Note Because Monroe White's growth rate is slightly slower than other Liriopes, you may wish to purchase more plants for faster coverage. Be sure to use our plant calculator if you need help deciding how many to purchase. If planting in zone 5, be sure to check with your local extension to confirm winter hardiness in your area. Gardener Tips We adore Monroe White in a monochromatic color scheme paired with clusters of Lily of the Valley, White Astilbe and White Coneflower. The depth of rich green foliage contrasts beautifully with the alternating cloud-like blossoms of these flowers.
