About this plant
Liriope muscari 'Big Blue' lives up to its name, showcasing wider, strap-like leaves in a rich, dark green that maintain their color year-round. In late summer, elegant spikes of deep violet-blue flowers emerge, adding a charming contrast and extended seasonal interest to your landscape. This outstanding selection is prized for its exceptional vigor and tidy, clumping habit, making it an ideal choice for a variety of uses. Its ability to thrive in challenging conditions, from full sun to deep shade, and its low-maintenance nature make it a go-to for gardeners seeking both beauty and durability. Perfect for mass plantings, edging walkways, stabilizing slopes, or filling containers, Big Blue Lilyturf creates a lush, uniform texture. Its dense growth also helps suppress weeds, contributing to a cleaner and more manicured aesthetic in your garden beds.
Care & maintenance
Liriope muscari 'Big Blue' is remarkably low-maintenance. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. While evergreen, a cutting back of old foliage in late winter or early spring (prior to new growth) can refresh its appearance. Division every few years in spring can help maintain vigor and spread.
