Description

One of the easiest of all plants to grow, Liriope spicata is a moderate to fast growing grass-like perennial plant that features spikes of beautiful lavender flowers that rise above the rich green foliage in summer to early fall. While some Liriope have a clumping habit, creeping Liriope spreads by underground rhizomes, which fills in more quickly. But make sure to give it some room to grow. It thrives in sun or shade. Excellent under large shade trees and to fill contained areas in the landscape. The butterflies and hummingbirds will love the flowers and thank you for planting this one!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Creeping Liriope is a fast spreading groundcover that grows 10 to 12 inches tall and spreads 2 feet or more when not contained. It is ideal for use as a groundcover in sunny or shady landscape borders or home foundation plantings. A great selection for use under large trees, where not many other plants will grow. A perfect soil cover and underplanting in container gardens that adds a grassy texture.

Suggested Spacing: 12 to 18 inches apart for use as a groundcover

How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5b, where this Liriope is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Creeping Liriope is exceptionally easy to grow…and, in fact, hard to kill! It adapts to most soil types and thrives in full sun to full shade. That said, in the Deep South its foliage stays darker green with some shade or filtered sun during the afternoon. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. As with many other plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. Can be mowed in late winter before new leaves begin to emerge.

We were frustrated our local nurseries & big box stores had nothing even remotely interesting for us to use to landscape our new patio. We realized that looking in September was a challenge since this is the end of our growing season, But then we discovered Wilson Bros–a massive collection of interesting plants for our zone in the midwest, excellent shipping options, and unbelievable sale prices! We couldn’t imagine how they were going to ship more than 100 live plants to us. But, wow! The creeping liriope and ornamental grasses were packed and layered so ingeniously that there wasn’t a single leaf damaged, and they were able to fit so many plants in a box. They didn’t look dry or sad at all. Once planted they look healthy and happy and have continued to grow (even though it’s October in the midwest! This was totally hassle-free plant buying. No carting plants around a store, packing them into our car, unloading them at home–they just appeared on our doorstep. We will always go to Wilson Bros online first!————————————————Wow! Thanks for the kind words and awesome review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I had just about given up on buying creeping liriope until I came across Wilson Brothers. I purchased 72 plants and they arrived in perfect condition-healthy and packaged extremely well. I planted them about a week after their arrival and they are doing very well in the midst of a drought. I look forward to their growth and buying more from Wilson Brothers!————————————-Thanks for the kind words and awesome review!
