Hardy Perennial. Grass-like, shiny dark green foliage is evergreen in warm climates. It makes an effective edging, groundcover or border selection for a flower bed. Useful as an accent around a specimen planting. Violet-purple, hyacinth-like flowers are well highlighted by the dark foliage.The blooms are followed by dark berries which are ornamental. Dividing clumps in the spring is the easiest propagation method. Seeds may be sown from spring through summer. When dividing, do so carefully. Lifting good-sized clumps, not just small pieces. Watch for slugs and snails. 'Variegata' has green leaves with thick white margins on outer edges. Mow to the ground in early spring if your plants look tattered. This plant is named in honor of the Greek woodland nymph, Liriope, the mother of Narcissus.
