Monroe’s White Liriope is a grass-like evergreen perennial featuring full and pretty milky white flower spikes that rise above rich green, grassy foliage clumps in summer. The flowers are followed by attractive black berries. Liriope are evergreen perennials of the lily family that are one of the most widely used groundcover plants in existence – and for very good reason. Unlike other Liriope varieties that spread wildly, Monroe’s White forms neat clumps that gradually increase in size over time, making it a perfect choice for use as a border along walkways and paths or landscape beds. The butterflies and hummingbirds will love the flowers and thank you for planting this one!

Note:  Monroe’s White prefers growing in part shade to full shade. Early to mid morning sun or filtered sun is okay.

Growing 14 to 18″ tall and 18″ wide in a grassy mound, Monroe’s White Liriope is ideal for use in the shady areas of the landscape as an accent, a border edger along paths, walkways and patios, as a groundcover in shady home foundation plantings and under the canopies of shade trees. Also serves nicely as a grassy accent in combination container gardens. A fine addition to white theme gardens, butterfly gardens, hummingbird gardens, and shade gardens.

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of  USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Liriope 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. 

Monroe’s White Liriope is exceptionally easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and shade to part shade. Some morning sun or all-day heavily filtered sun is fine, but avoid the direct afternoon sun. Constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic.
