Description

Tough, elegant, and quietly striking, Liriope muscari is a fantastic low-maintenance ground cover plant that thrives in shade and sun alike. Glossy, grass-like foliage forms dense clumps, topped in late summer with upright spikes of rich violet-lavender flowers followed by small black berries. It’s ideal for underplanting trees, edging paths, or adding texture and colour to tired corners of South London gardens. Pairs well with ferns, heuchera, and hellebores for a layered woodland effect.

Plants supplied in a 14CM grower’s pot.
