Monroe's White Liriope

Monroe's White Liriope is a shade-loving lilyturf prized for bright white flower spikes that stand out against dark-green foliage. The arching evergreen clumps stay neat and do not run aggressively, making them useful for edging, mass plantings, and beds beneath trees. Black berries may follow the flowers in fall. Plant in part shade to shade and trim old foliage in late winter before new growth begins. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.
