Big Blue Lily Turf (Liriope muscari) — Evergreen Groundcover Perennial
The Ultimate Low-Maintenance Groundcover — Big Blue Lily Turf
If you've been searching for a tough, beautiful alternative to traditional turf or a solution for those tricky shaded borders, Big Blue Lily Turf (Liriope muscari 'Big Blue') is your answer. This arching evergreen perennial grows in graceful tufts of rich green, grass-like foliage that stays attractive year-round. In summer, pale blue flower spikes rise above the leaves in abundance, followed by clusters of ornamental black berries that add interest well into fall. Deer-resistant, fragrant, and safe for cats and dogs — it's as practical as it is pretty.
