Big Blue Liriope (Monkey Grass)

The Big Blue Liriope is a great perennial for ground cover or border plantings. Enjoy showy flower spikes of lavender flowers in late summer. Some people call it Monkey Grass. It is also very hardy and can be almost planted anywhere. Care There are no insect or disease problems with this Liriope. This type of Liriope is very easy and doesn't require care. In early spring, you can cut down your Liriope and trim off the existing grass blades.

Keep your Liriope planted in rich, well-drained soil. Growth Habit Flowers transform to black berries late in the fall going into winter.
