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 is a very sturdy plant. The best time to trim liriope is winter. Now is a good time, and any time up until about mid-March will work. As soon as the plant starts to grow, any trimming will cut the new tips and the plant will be disfigured for the rest of the year.
