Planting and Care Tips
Plant
Thrives in average, well-drained soils; adaptable to a range of soil types.
Feed
A slow-release lawn or ornamental plant food is ideal, since liriope is evergreen and feeds over a long season.
Water
Water regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system; tolerates mild drought, when established.
Prune
For a neat appearance, remove old, faded foliage before new leaves emerge. Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in early spring.
Exposure
Partial sun
