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.

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.
