Similar to Evergreen Giant. but shorter, Densiflora, with its slim lily-like emerald foliage (3/8-1/2 inch wide), is a dense clumper with showy lavender flower spikes that resemble miniature grape hyacinths.

She prefers moist, loamy, sandy or clay soil making her relatively adaptable to a variety of environments. Gardeners appreciate her tolerance of salt as well as her moderate growth rate.

Of course the real reason people adore her is that she performs beautifully in container plantings, rock gardens, woodland gardens, seashore plantings, borders, massing, as a specimen, or groundcover. A large bed filled with Densiflora appears natural and unpretentious while using her as a border gives a well-planned, manicured appearance.

Interesting Facts
Densiflora is native to China and Japan.

Gardener Tips
If you live in a seaside location, you'll be thrilled with the sunny combination of Coronation Gold Yarrow and this hardy liriope. The gold blossoms and feathery sage foliage of the yarrow will sway and swerve in the sea breeze while the amethyst blooms and emerald blades of the liriope add vivid lower level interest and texture to the garden.

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.
