  • Description

  • Notes

Similar to the Liriope muscari, the leaves have a creamy white edging. It grows best under partial shade and in warm climates. Small purple flowers appear in summer. This evergreen shrub grows to 15" tall and wide. It needs regular watering, once a week, and more during hot summer months.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
