Liriope m. 'Silvery Sunproof'  is a popular
variety for its relatively wide variegated
grass-like foliage
of green and white or sometimes yellow. A
nice clumping variety producing lavender
flowers midsummer into fall.
This plant will grow almost anywhere in full
sun, partial shade or shade.
In the Spring the foliage maybe cut back or mowed if
looking discolored from winter.  A new flush of growth
will quickly appear.


Non variegated variety available also
