Super Blue Liriope

Super Blue Liriope is a vigorous clumping lilyturf with broader, taller foliage than many common varieties. Violet-purple flower spikes rise above the rich-green blades in late summer, followed by glossy black berries. Its substantial size makes it useful for bold edging, mass plantings, slopes, and difficult areas beneath trees. It tolerates a wide range of light but appreciates afternoon shade in the hottest locations. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.
