From the lovely grass-like foliage to the abundant spikes of gorgeous blue flowers and tiny ornamental black berries, this Big Blue Liriope evergreen plant really shines when planted as an edging, or border, or as ground cover. A perennial plant with a moderate grow rate and need for partial sun, following a regular watering schedule during its initial growing season in the ground allows it to establish a deep root system and, therefore, require less watering and care thereafter. Thriving in well-drained soil, taking care of this wonderful plant will allow it to reach its maximum size of 12-15 inches in height and spread, and because its deer resistant you don’t have to worry about your landscaping being eaten. Enjoy its exquisite blooms when they appear in the Summer and spend the rest of the year loving the simple, pretty look of the foliage itself.

Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
Can it tolerate some afternoon sun
Yes, Big Blue Liriope can tolerate afternoon sun, but it typically performs best in partial shade or areas with morning sun and afternoon shade. While it can handle the sun, providing some protection from the hottest part of the day will help prevent leaf scorching, especially in hotter climates. If planted in full afternoon sun, make sure the soil is well-drained and keep the plant adequately watered to maintain its health.

Are they big resistant especially white fly. How often do they need to be watered?
Big Blue Liriope (Liriope muscari) is generally resistant to most pests, including whiteflies. While no plant is entirely immune to pests, Liriope is not known to attract whiteflies or other common garden pests, making it a low-maintenance and hardy choice for landscaping.
Watering Needs:
- Newly Planted: Water regularly, 2-3 times per week, until the plant is established (usually within a few months).

- During Hot, Dry Periods: Increase watering to 2 times per week to keep the soil moist.
