Liriope
Although commonly considered a groundcover plant, Liriope is one of the most widely used grassy looking plants in North Texas. It’s also known as Lilyturf, is used strategically in narrow planting spaces, under shade trees and in border areas of landscaping beds.
Liriope is hearty in zones 5-11, and can be enjoyed throughout the state of Texas as an evergreen grass.
Liriope comes several varieties that average between 12” and 20” tall and wide. While it can survive in full shade, it blooms best with some sun exposure. You can expect the hallmark purple lavender looking blooms late spring each year. Water regularly and occasionally once established.
