Liriope muscari 'Big Blue' is the standard of green Liriope. Big Blue has narrow, ¼" wide, green leaf blades. Blooms with lavender flower spikes mid-Summer and they are followed by near black berries. Big Blue Liriope clumps spread by short rhizomes. Perfect for erosion control on banks, slopes and large bed plantings. Can be used for borders and edging if kept in check. (See all other varieties of muscari that stay in clump form for use as borders or in mixed beds with less maintenance.)
Liriope grass, also called lilyturf, border grass, or monkey grass, looks a lot like a grass, but actually is a member of the asparagus family, Asparagaceae,
Liriope tolerates a wide range of soils and soil conditions, though it doesn't like constantly wet or boggy soil.
During the first growing season, water the plants regularly, at least 1 inch of water per week. Once established, liriope plants are relatively drought-tolerant.
Liriope can be mow during the late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Use liriope as a groundcover, an edging plant to mark pathways or borders, naturalize under large trees, and in mass plantings for erosion control. A dense mat of liriope can stabilize soil on slopes and ditch banks. Liriope is a low-maintenance plant that is drought and deer-resistant.

Liriope Big Blue purchasing experience
I am in Gainesville and was out of options locally to locate small plants of the Liriope muscari 'Big Blue' that the Home Owners Association insisted be planted as a border on my front yard.. Browsing on the web I finally hit upon Blooming Designs (in Georgia). Since I had to buy more than 60, price was a big issue. This nursery was quick to respond with a great price and free shipping of plants in 2.5" pots. Perfect for my budget! The experience was great. The plants arrived right on time , healthy and very well packed. They are now in the ground and taking well to the new environment.

Great plants
I needed 150 liriope and no local garden center had that amount, so I tried ordering them --- and they greatly exceeded my expectations! They arrived in perfect condition and are thriving. I would definitely order from Bloomin Designs again!
