General information about Liriope spicata (Creeping Lily Turf):
Liriope spicata offers late summer cloudy lavender to cottony white flower spikes that rise out of feathery foliage on 10 inch shoots. In late fall, these flowers often give way to blackish berries.

In southern zones, you’ll find Liriope spicata remains an evergreen tuft and is virtually indestructible in stubborn areas like the base of trees where roots otherwise impede growth. On slopes and banks, she is stellar at erosion control, and forming a mat that gracefully chokes out most weeds, filling any empty spots in a garden with her beauty.

If you need a quick-growing perennial, you will love that she spreads moderately to very fast by underground rhizomes, its foliage resembles very vigorous turf grass, hence the common name. While not ideal for borders plantings, many gardeners choose it as a low-maintenance turf substitute for low foot traffic areas because unlike most groundcovers where leaf litter can get entangled, spicata's fallen leaves can easily be raked free from its linear foliage.

The hardiness of this plant is really the show-stopper here. It puts up with drought, poor soil, heat, humidity, slopes and moist areas; it performs best in moist, fertile soils. Additionally, spicata is moderately tolerant of salt and deer tend to avoid it, making it perfect for people with pests.

Gardeners love to use Liriope spicata along streams, ponds, and boulders or in rock gardens, along paths, and under shallow-rooted trees where she promises to thrive.

Important note about bare root Liriope
Liriope is not like other perennials, it grows much slower the first year when transplanted from bare roots than from potted plants. Do not expect much growth the first season after transplanting bare roots. If you seek substantial growth the first summer after transplanting, buy potted plants.

This is the first time I’ve ordered from Classy Groundcovers. Although I’ve had to place 3 orders (yes, I should’ve used their calculator & ordered 1/2 of the recommended quantity), each shipment has been hot inside the box upon arrival (it’s July... Read full review >
SO FAR SO GOOD

Product reviewed: Creeping Lily Turf {Bare Root Plants, min 25}

I never purchased plants on-line before, so, to be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect. I decided to go for it and ordered 50 bare roots.

First off, I was impressed that I could order and then choose my ship date. That is definitely a helpful tool. And... Read full review >

It has been one year since I planted 100 of the 3 1/2" pots of Loly Turf and they are very healthy and vigorous. They have tripled in size and are spreading.
I did prepare the planting bed very well and watered them for first month or so. Very pleased.
