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.

These plants are being used to cover a wide area that is hard to weed, and that washes out every time it rains. If these don't work nothing will. They all seem to be doing fine and staying green. Yahoo!

These were delivered promptly and in perfect condition. There were at least fifty plants in the bundle, but probably more, for the same price. They are all in the ground now, looking good. I have a section of lawn under trees where grass will not grow.... Read full review >

The plants arrived fresh and ample size. I kept them moist and in a cool place ...until having the time to plant all 50 a few days later. It's only 3 days since the planting, but so far they look good.
great service!

I received the live plants packed nicely! Great service!

Mine has done splendidly and keeps increasing/ getting thicker to keep the bank covered and neat looking. The dogs sit on it leaving no harm to the plants. I compost once a year if necessary, esp. in any bare spots, and cut away old growth in the early spring... Read full review >
