Harvesting and Planting Liriope Seeds: Timing and Depth for a Liriope Lawn

In northern Alabama, to establish a liriope lawn from seed:

Harvest

• Wait for berries to form (late fall).
• Allow 30 days after berry set.
• Expose to a couple weeks of cool temperatures.

Sow

• Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in prepared soil.
• Best time: December or January.

Note

Liriope also self-seeds readily. This method gives you control over density and placement.

With patience, you’ll have a lush, evergreen groundcover lawn.
