Plant description

Liriope muscari 'Just Right' is an evergreen strappy leafed perennial plant with a clumping habit. It flowers from summer to autumn, with spikes of mauve flowers held close into the foliage. It is an easy care plant, with few pests or diseases. Suits full sun to heavy shade. Growth will be less vigorous in very shady spots.

Liriope is a very hardy plant that can thrive in poor conditions although best results are achieved with improved soils. Fertilise in spring with a slow release fertiliser. A good plant for border planting, specimen planting and for containers.

Liripoe 'Just Right' produces few viable seeds, so will not become a weed problem.
