Lovely as a Massed Ground Cover
Abundant blue flower spikes rise above the attractive, tufted, arching, grass-like foliage followed by clusters of black berries. Liriope Big Blue is the improved version of an old-time favorite that makes a good ornamental or edging plant. Lily Turf will thrive in a wide range of conditions from dry shade to full sun. Our plant spacing recommendations are based on how quickly groundcovers will spread in their first season of growth.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
