Plant Detail

Liriope muscari majestic

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, fertile soils in part shade in the St. Louis area. Tolerates a wide range of light conditions and soils. Will grow in close to full shade, but will produce more elongated foliage and spread more slowly. Also has good tolerance for heat, humidity, and drought. Foliage is evergreen in warm southern climates but declines considerably in areas with cold winters such as St. Louis. Cut foliage to the ground (mow large plots on a high mower setting) in late winter to early spring in preparation for new growth. Plants may not be reliably winter hardy in the northern parts of where they should be sited in protected locations.

The common name of lily turf acknowledges the plant's turf-like growing habit. It is not grass and was previously placed in the lily family but is now placed in the asparagus family. Another common name is border grass.
