Liriope spicata 'Silver Dragon' is a striking, variegated cultivar of Creeping Lily Turf. Unlike the clumping L. muscari, L. spicata spreads aggressively by rhizomes, making it a true ground cover. 'Silver Dragon' features narrow, grass-like leaves boldly striped with creamy white. In late summer, it produces short spikes of pale lavender flowers, often hidden by the foliage.
'Silver Dragon' tolerates a wide range of conditions: sun to shade, moist to dry soil. Its spreading habit makes it excellent for erosion control on slopes and covering large shaded areas, but it can be invasive; use barriers or plant where contained. The variegation brightens dark areas. A tough, colorful, running ground cover for difficult sites where containment is possible.
