Kill grass by pulling it from around lily turf. Liriope or lily turf (Liriope muscari) works well as a border or foundation plant. Lily turf features grasslike, dark green foliage and vibrant purple flowers making it a welcome addition to many yards.
Terrific as edging along a sidewalk, the front of a flower bed or massed as a ground cover under a shady tree, liriope proves to be a durable, low-maintenance perennial. Sometimes called lilyturf, border grass or monkey grass, it is not a grass at all but a member of the lily family.
