Description

Liriope spicata 'Silver Dragon' is a striking, fast-spreading evergreen ground cover prized for its dramatic, variegated foliage and adaptability to shade. This vigorous perennial forms arching, grass-like clumps of narrow, dark green leaves boldly striped with bright, silvery-white to creamy-white bands, creating a luminous, eye-catching effect in the landscape. In late summer to early autumn, it produces short spikes of small, lavender-white, bell-shaped flowers that rise just above the foliage, followed by small, ornamental, blackish-purple berries.
