Description

Tough, tidy, and surprisingly colourful, Liriope muscari is a brilliant choice for low-maintenance ground cover in shady South London spots. This evergreen grass-like perennial forms dense clumps of strappy foliage, topped in late summer with upright spikes of violet-purple flowers. Perfect for underplanting shrubs, edging pathways, or mixing into woodland-style planting with ferns, heucheras, and hostas.
