Discover how to grow and manage Liriope spicata, also known as creeping lilyturf, with our guide to this vigorous ground cover plant.

Liriope spicata, or creeping lilyturf, is a versatile and eye-catching plant that can add texture and color to your garden.

Liriope spicata produces spikes of delicate light purple or white flowers in late summer. Dark berries form on the flower spikes after the flowers fade.

If you buy potted liriope, dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Gently place the plant in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.

The best time to cut back liriope is in late winter or early spring, just before new growth starts.

Consider installing a root barrier to limit liriope's spread. You can use plastic edging or plant it near a concrete sidewalk.

Be mindful of where you plant Liriope spicata in your garden. Avoid planting it close to established garden beds or where it might spread into neighboring properties.
