Description

Liriope muscari 'Aztec Grass' is a striking, evergreen perennial prized for its dramatic, variegated foliage and late-season flower spikes. This clump-forming lilyturf forms a dense, grass-like tuft of narrow, arching, dark green leaves with bold, crisp, creamy-white to silver margins, providing year-round texture and contrast in the shade garden. In late summer through late autumn, it produces short spikes of small, lavender-purple, bell-shaped flowers that rise just above the foliage, followed by small, ornamental, blackish-purple berries that attract birds. Exceptionally adaptable, shade tolerant, drought-tolerant once established, and deer resistant, it is an outstanding choice for borders, edging, mass plantings, ground cover, containers, and underplanting trees and shrubs.
