Liriope – Evergreen Giant

Liriope Evergreen Giant (*Liriope muscari* 'Evergreen Giant') thrives in partial shade to full sun and is adaptable to various light conditions. It is ideal for ground cover, borders, and mass planting, as it forms dense, low-maintenance clumps with attractive dark green foliage and spikes of purple flowers. Ensure the planting site has well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging, which can cause root rot.

Liriope Evergreen Giant is suited to a temperate to subtropical climate and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, from 5°C to 30°C. It is frost-tolerant and maintains its foliage year-round, adding consistent greenery to shaded or partially shaded areas in the garden. This hardy plant blooms from late summer to early autumn, with purple flower spikes that attract pollinators.

Plant Liriope Evergreen Giant in well-draining soil. It adapts to various soil types, including loamy, sandy, and even clay soils. The ideal pH is slightly acidic to neutral (6.0-7.0). Adding organic matter, such as compost, can improve soil quality and moisture retention without causing waterlogging.

Feed Liriope Evergreen Giant with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to promote healthy growth. Minimal fertilising is generally required, but a light application of compost or organic fertiliser once a year can support lush foliage and bloom production.
