Big Blue Liriope (Liriope muscari ‘Big Blue’), also known as Lily Turf or Monkey Grass, produces abundant blue flower spikes that rise above the attractive, dark green, grass-like foliage. After flowering, the spikes are loaded with clusters of beautiful black berries which often last into winter. This evergreen perennial is a superior edging, border, or ground cover plant and also makes an excellent lawn grass substitute. Big Blue Liriope can grow up to 14 inches tall if conditions are favorable. This ornamental grass prefers slightly acidic, well-drained soil and full sun with partial shade. Once established, it can tolerate long periods of drought. Lily Turf is favored by cultivators for its winter hardiness and is both disease and deer resistant. The bestway to propagate your Big Blue Liriope is by division in springtime. After the last frost, cut the leaves down to the ground to encourage new growth.
