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.
Liriope can be used as a groundcover under trees and shrubs and as a massed planting on slopes and banks. Liriope muscari and its cultivars can also be used as low edging plants along paved areas or in front of foundation plantings. Liriope is remarkably tough. It will grow in deep shade or full sun, sand or clay.hen planting liriope, do not install plants too deeply where the crown of the plant is buried. Keep liriope healthy by watering weekly as needed during summer droughts, donât over-apply mulch next to plants, and donât over-fertilize.
