Liriope minor is the dwarf species of Lily Turf, forming tight, compact tufts of narrow, dark green, grass-like leaves only 6–8 inches tall. In late summer, it produces short spikes of pale lavender to white flowers, often hidden within the foliage, followed by black berries. It spreads slowly by short rhizomes.
Liriope minor thrives in partial to full shade and well-drained soil. It is evergreen in mild winters. Its diminutive size makes it perfect for edging paths, small spaces, rock gardens, and fairy gardens. It is as tough and adaptable as its larger relatives. A miniature, low-maintenance evergreen for the shade garden.
