Lirope muscari 'Big Blue' is an evergreen lilyturf with mounds of lush grass-like foliage and lavender spikes.
Liriope muscari ‘Big Blue’ is an easy care, evergreen lilyturf with lush clumps of dark green, grass-like foliage that can slowly expand via short stolons but are not invasive. Tall spikes of tightly packed, lavender purple flowers rise within and above the foliage in late summer. Shiny black berries persist into winter. Tolerant of most soil types, heat and humidity. Versatile in the garden adding colour and lush texture. Use as a mass-planted ground cover, lawn alternative for very low foot traffic areas, for erosion control on slopes, in mass plantings, along pathways, at the edge of borders, in containers, and as cut flowers. Popular with many pollinators. Deer resistant.
