Liriope muscari ‘Okina’

Liriope 'Okina' has striking, frosted white new growth slowly changing to green by summer.

This compact mound of broad strap-like foliage arises paper white in spring and later develops green tips against which the lilac-purple flower spikes are shown to great effect. A strikingly different type of variegated plant for part shade that will stop garden visitors in their tracks. It has taken years for us to bulk up our stock plants and we are pleased to finally offer it.
