Description
This evergreen perennial of the lily family is one of the most widely used evergreen groundcover plants in existence – and for very good reason. Unlike other Liriope varieties that spread wildly, ‘Big Blue’ forms neat clumps of grassy foliage that gradually increase in size over time, making it a perfect choice for use as a border. Lavender-violet flower spikes rise above the very dark-green grassy clumps during summer, which are followed by attractive black berries. Unlike its variegated cousin, Liriope muscari ‘Variegata’, Big Blue likes some afternoon shade. Direct afternoon sun can and often will scorch or turn the leaves a lighter shade of green. If you are looking for toughness and good looks in a groundcover, Big Blue Liriope is hard to beat!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Its clumping rather than spreading growth habit make Big Blue Liriope the perfect choice for a border or mass plantings. We’ve 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 as a solo or in combination with other plants in container gardens where it adds a very nice vertical accent and grassy texture.
Suggested Spacing: 10 to 15 inches apart for mass plantings or as a solid border edger

How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?
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
Big Blue Liriope is exceptionally easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. Tolerates dry soil conditions when established. It will tolerate full sun, however we think it looks and performs better given some shade during the afternoon. If you’re looking for a Liriope that will tolerate full sun check out Variegated Liriope or Emerald Goddess Liriope.

Searched all over the internet to find this variety in flats as we needed 30-40 plants to make a decorative border around a new deck. Price was good, they were in stock, and showed up very timely. Actually delivered by an individual (not a commercial shipper) just two days after placing order. All plants were in good shape and are still alive and thriving. Very good experience for me with Wilson Brothers – will use them again.————————————–Thanks for the kind words and awesome review!

Plants arrived promptly and well packaged.
I’ve had them for about a week and they’ve settled in nicely.
The only negative is they were a bit pot bound but I sliced them and I got 50 out of the 38 so it worked for me.. I would def buy from Wilson’s again and have started a wishlist.——————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

I Love this stuff! It was just what I wanted. The plants arrived super fast and are extremely healthy. I am very happy with this purchase. I planted 36 of them on a slope bordering our property. They are all thriving. The service and communication was outstanding! Thus, I will be ordering more in the future, as well as, shrubs in the Fall. I highly recommend Wilson Bros Gardens!—————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the awesome review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
I have been searching for Liriope Muscari online, after my local garden center sold me Liriope Spicata last year – not good! I found Wilson Bros Gardens online where I purchased & received 36 beautiful, healthy plants in short order – Wow you are quick!
