Description
The vigorous, fast-growing Emerald Goddess Liriope has taller foliage and showier flowers that bloom earlier and for longer than other varieties. The flowers are pinkish-lavender in color and are produced over a 4 month period from early summer to early fall. The foliage stays more upright during the winter and is very resistant to fungal diseases. This variety is not stoloniferous so stays in bounds in a nice, neat clump. Also has better heat and cold tolerance and grows well in full sun or full shade!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a clump 18 to 24 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches or so wide make Emerald Goddess Liriope the perfect choice for a border, however we have used it all over our gardens in mass plantings under trees and in other shady areas. This is a groundcover plant highly suitable for home foundation plantings. It can also be used solo or in combination with other plants in container gardens where it adds a very nice vertical accent and grassy texture.
Suggested Spacing: 18 inches apart for mass plantings or solid border edger

If you are looking for toughness and good looks, Emerald Goddesss Liriope is hard to beat!
