Liriope muscari (big blue lilyturf) is a member of the Asparagaceae family. This grasse exhibits a clump forming growth habit and is characterized by its evergreen foliage. It has a hardiness rating of hardy – cold winter (-15 to -10ºc) and is hardy through most of the UK even in severe winters. May not withstand open or exposed sites or central / northerly locations. Many evergreens suffer foliage damage and plants in pots will be at increased risk.
When fully mature, Liriope muscari can reach an ultimate height of 0.1–0.5 metres and a spread of 0.1–0.5 metres. For optimal growth, it prefers west–facing or east–facing or north–facing aspect and sheltered positions. It thrives best in clay or loam or sand soil types and should be placed in full shade or partial shade.
