Description

The vigorous, fast-growing Emerald Goddess Liriope has taller foliage and showier flowers that bloom earlier and for longer than other varieties. The flowers are pinkish-lavender in color and are produced over a 4 month period from early summer to early fall. The foliage stays more upright during the winter and is very resistant to fungal diseases. This variety is not stoloniferous so stays in bounds in a nice, neat clump. Also has better heat and cold tolerance and grows well in full sun or full shade!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a clump 18 to 24 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches or so wide make Emerald Goddess Liriope the perfect choice for a border, however we have used it all over our gardens in mass plantings under trees and in other shady areas. This is a groundcover plant highly suitable for home foundation plantings. It can also be used solo or in combination with other plants in container gardens where it adds a very nice vertical accent and grassy texture.

Suggested Spacing: 18 inches apart for mass plantings or solid border edger

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5b, where this Liriope variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Emerald Goddesss Liriope is exceptionally easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun or shade. When established it is quite drought tolerant and only requires supplemental irrigation during prolonged periods of severe drought. It performs equally as well in full sun as it does shade. If you are looking for toughness and good looks, Emerald Goddesss Liriope is hard to beat!

The Emerald Goddess Liriope plants are gorgeous! I have ordered several times before and these did not disappoint! They arrived beautifully packaged and are much larger than I thought they would be. I remain astounded how well Wilson Brothers Gardens packages their plants. I ordered 12 to replace high maintenance plants in 2 locations. I’m now garden planning for 2022 thinking about my next purchases from Wilson Brothers Gardens.

I purchased 6 Emerald Goddess liriope to fill-in an area, I specifically needed that variety to match some existing plantings and I could not locate any locally. They arrived well packed, and hydrated, I planted them within 24 hours of arrival and they are doing well. ——————- WBG Reply – Hi Rosemary – Thanks for your review of the Emerald Goddess Liriope and glad to hear the plants are doing well after planting.

I needed 2 liriope and could not find these in local nurseries, so ordered from Wilson Bros. They arrived in great shape and had been well watered before shipping. I would order from Wilson Bros again.

I was pleased to receive very healthy and large Emerald Goddess plants from Wilson Bros Gardens. I had a feeling that the plants would be good because of such a nice website with so much information on it. I highly recommend this website and nursery to others who are looking for good plants and lots of info to help!

Love the Lush green color very happy with my order
