Flower/Plant of the Week: Liriopes

Liriope- Muscari  is a perennial evergreen. It grows about a foot and a half tall and wide. There are two varieties, one with dark green leaves and also, a variegated version with beautiful light green shades. I am including both varieties in the photos. These plants are excellent choices for a flower garden border.  You can use them in large quantities in front of your border or as individual stand-alone accent plants. Both varieties flowers in dense violet spikes from summer to fall. The variegated version is good for garden spots where you want to bring light, because of its bright light tones of green.
