When you're looking for a shorter, clumping flush of lush evergreen foliage in a groundcover, you'll certainly want to take a look at Silver Midget. He performs well in full sun and any type of full shade and features dark-green leaves with irregular almost antique white variegation.

The coxcomb clusters of lavender flower spikes aren't as dark as some Liriope flowers. He is an excellent, low-maintenance turf substitute for low traffic areas. Well behaved in any well-drained soil, Silver Midget has a moderate growth rate, making it ideal for spaces where you don't want a fast invasion.

Borders. Borders. Borders. Silver Midget, when planted along the edge of a path, a garden bed or any other space that needs a short, dense, band of foliage as a border, will absolutely steal the show.

Things to Note
If planting in zone 5, be sure to check with your local extension to confirm winter hardiness in your area.

Gardener Tips
We love placing Black Eyed Susan in clusters amidst a bed of Silver Midget because the yellow in the blooms plays beautifully off the antique variegated foliage of the Silver Midget.

No unusual shipping concerns for this plant.

In northern zones where winter snow will crush the foliage, consider shearing (or mowing on high) in late fall or very early spring to avoid a period of ratty-looking dead foliage in the spring that can impede new spring growth.

Shearing in southern zones is optional, you may elect to do it just to maintain the most attractive appearance.This plant can be susceptible to Anthracnose, especially in southern zones. If it develops brown spots in winter, cut the foliage back (to the ground is OK) in early spring.
