    This nicely variegated version of Lily Grass forms 18" tall evergreen clumps, slowly spreading for year round attractive ground cover. Leaves emerge softly striped in vertical silver becoming green with age. White star flowers mature to sapphire round fruits…morning sun to moderate shade…most soils…average water (somewhat drought tolerant when established).

    You know black mondo grass. Now, here's a green and white variegated cultivar. The flowers are white and are followed by oblong, deep blue berries. This spreading, 18" tall cultivar is best in part shade and moist conditions. The nicely textured, variegated grass-like foliage goes a long way to lightening up a shady area.

    Lovely, variegated lilyturf, a Japanese native with white-striped, green leaves adding texture to the garden as a ground cover or specimen. Leaves can be as long as 2' forming clumps to 1' in diameters and spreading by underground rhizomes. Later summer flowers add color with clusters of purple-blue flowers on 6" stems. Full to part sun with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
