Liriope muscari 'Big Blue': Lily Turf – Bold Clumps with Violet Spikes

Liriope muscari 'Big Blue' – Big Blue Lily Turf

Liriope muscari 'Big Blue' is a robust, clump-forming cultivar of Lily Turf (Monkey Grass). It forms dense, arching tufts of wide, strap-like, dark green leaves. In late summer to fall, it produces thick, showy spikes of deep violet-purple flowers that rise well above the foliage, followed by black berries. 'Big Blue' is larger and more floriferous than the species.

'Big Blue' thrives in partial to full shade and a wide range of soils, including dry shade once established. It is evergreen in mild winters, semi-evergreen in colder zones. It is a workhorse for edging, mass planting under trees, and erosion control on slopes. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance. A classic, reliable shade perennial with a strong late-season floral display.
