Super Blue Liriope, Drought Tolerant Groundcover Grass, 15 Live Plants

#adFlorida Foliage #ad - Known to spread, loose soil that is fertilized and well drained and can tolerate dry soil conditions once established. It features abundant blue-purple spikes of flowers that rise above its tufted, grass like foliage in summer and are followed by clusters of black berries. It is heat tolerant, though it responds well to splitting and transplanting efforts and is one of the least invasive of the Liriope family.

The liriope is quite tough and is both heat and drought tolerant. The super blue liriope is an improved variety of the more common Big Blue Liriope that grows a bit taller and can tolerate more direct sunlight. Superior edging, tufted arching, border or groundcover. This hard-working shrub grows well in hard to grow places such as banks and slopes, driveways or filling in gaps between shrubs. It is exceptional as a container plant, in mass plantings and under large trees.

This liriope variety prefers moist, drought tolerant and salt spray tolerant. Not to be confused with “big blue” liriope, lush border or pathway edging, super blue has a more vigorous growth habit and can grow to be 20 inches tall. Its flowers bloom best in a sunny location. Abundant blue flower spikes rise above the attractive, grass-like foliage followed by clusters of black berries. This plant prefers moist, loamy soil and partially shaded areas, but will tolerate dry soil areas once established.
