Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A variegated, clump-forming perennial with purple colored flowers. Use it for edging, containers, ground cover, or for erosion control.
Glowing, evergreen 'lilygrass' that is the most sun tolerant of the bunch…15-18" clumps of grassy, deep green leaves, so boldy marked with yellow and cream striping that the green is hardly visible! Spikes of soft lavender flowers in summer; excels in pots. Pair this with purple leaved companions (like Catlin's Giant Ajuga) for an extravaganza of contrast! Looks right at home near water features and at the base of boulders, near stones, at the edges of pathways…
Zn 5. Lilac flowers. Yellow striped foliage.
This group gets its name from greek, leiron, which means lily or in gree mythology, after liriope, a fountain nymph & mother of narcissus. These plants as a group are very adaptable to a wide range of exposures, soil conditions, and climates. They can tolerate excess moisture or severe drought and many adverse situations where nothing else would survive. Considering these attributes along with their diversity of textures, growth habits, colors, and extremely low maintenance requirements, there is little wonder that liriope is one of the most popular groundcovers on the planet. Native to Japan, China.
