Lily Turf 'Silver Midget' {3 1/2 in. Pots, min 25}
When you're looking for a
shorter,
clumping
flush of lush
evergreen foliage in a groundcover, you'll certainly want to take a look at Silver Midget.
He performs well in
full sun
and any type of
full shade
and features dark-green leaves with irregular almost antique white
variegation.
The coxcomb clusters of lavender flower spikes aren't as dark as some Liriope flowers. He is an excellent, low-maintenance turf substitute for low traffic areas. Well behaved in any well-drained soil, Silver Midget has a moderate growth rate, making it ideal for spaces where you don't want a fast invasion. Borders. Borders. Borders. Silver Midget, when planted along the edge of a path, a garden bed or any other space that needs a short, dense, band of foliage as a border, will absolutely steal the show. 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 love placing Black Eyed Susan in clusters amidst a bed of Silver Midget because the yellow in the blooms plays beautifully off the antique variegated foliage of the Silver Midget.
