Lirope spicata
Liriope spicata, commonly known as Creeping Lilyturf or Creeping Liriope, is a versatile and low-growing perennial prized for its dense, spreading habit and attractive foliage. This species features narrow, grass-like leaves that form dense tufts, creating a lush carpet-like effect in the landscape. In late summer to early fall, it produces slender spikes of tiny lavender to violet flowers, which rise above the foliage, adding subtle beauty to garden beds or borders. Liriope spicata is valued for its ability to tolerate a wide range of growing conditions, including partial to full shade and various soil types, making it an excellent choice for underplanting trees or in areas with challenging growing conditions.
