What is Liriope?
liriope is a genus of evergreen perennials, which are often used as ground plantings or border planting. Some species in this family are invasive, so it is important to be aware of which species is purchased, especially if Liriope is installed in an area where the spreading invasive could endanger further planting. This plant grows well in the USDA zones six to 10 and can be found in some garden shops in regions in this zone. People who grow Liriope in their gardens can also be willing to give starts if they ask politely. In fact, this plant is neither lily nor grass, although leaves look similar to grass blades. liriope spicata produces white flowers and spreads quickly by runners, while liriope muscari has blue on purple flowers and grows more in clusters than with the help of runCůs. Both produce inedible berries in the autumn.
lirioPE thrives in different environments. It grows in full sun easily and quickly, but also cope with shadow, poor soil, humid conditions and dry conditions. l. Spicata is a species that most often tends to be invasive because runners will spread everywhere if they have a chance. Especially in full sun, this plant can become a serious problem, even spread runners under concrete and cement to look for new territories. l. Muscari grows a little slower, but does not pose an invasive risk, which is more convenient in many garden situations.
Several Liriope cultivars with unique features such as brightly colored leaves and brightly colored flowers were developed for ornamental use. One of the advantages for Liriope is that it is generally resistant to deer, which can be a great benefit for gardeners who fight the local popul deer. It is also a low maintenance plant, which makes it suitable for boundaries, large areas of the Earth to be covered and hard to get to the OblaStem garden that could benefit from an evergreen cover that requires little or no work.
When gardeners work with l. Spicata , planting one or two small starts is usually sufficient because the plant will spread to fill the gaps. A species that does not respond through runners must be planted more densely to create a uniform land, because clusters spread slightly, but will not crawl to fill large spaces. This can be used for an advantage when Liriope is used as a boundary and the gardeners want the plant to remain limited to a very specific space.
