Liriope muscari
ground_coverZones 5–10deer resistantTough, grass-like evergreen ground cover with spikes of purple flowers in late summer followed by black berries. Extremely adaptable to sun or shade.
Cut all foliage to 3 inches before new growth starts. Use mower on highest setting for large areas.
Keep liriope from spreading into lawn or adjacent beds by edging.
If clumps are too dense, divide and replant for better flowering.
