An absolutely regal blend of emerald green foliage and jewel-like
amethyst blooms in late summer, Royal Purple brings the palace outdoors. Stunning
evergreen (3/8 to 1/2 inch wide) leaf blades, hyacinth-like blossoms and a
moderate to
fast growth rate ensure that your garden will be resplendent with color whether it is
fully shaded or
sunny.
Royal Purple sets a stately stage as a
border for formal gardens. Suitable for southern gardens or in shady and dry places where little else grows, you find Royal Purple tolerates heavy shade, a wide range of well-drained soils and is
drought and heat resistant.
What landscape designers love about this Liriope is the wide range of uses including container plantings, rock gardens, woodland gardens,
seashore plantings, borders, massing, and groundcovers. When placed in fertile, moist, well-drained soil in
light shade, Royal Purple will absolutely blow your mind with lush foliage and decadent blossoms.
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 absolutely adore Royal Purple placed in clumps beside mounds of
Coral Bells and
Oertel's Rose Yarrow. The foliage on this trio is enough to fill a garden with gorgeous textural and color interest even without their lovely blooms.
