Liriope from Costa Rica
Liriope is a perennial with long, narrow, grass-like leaves that forms dense clumps and blooms in lilac or white spikes. It is one of the most widely used ground covers in landscaping because it tolerates sun and shade, needs little maintenance and never has to be mowed like a lawn.

What is liriope used for?
It is used as ground cover for large areas, as an edging for paths and planters, on slopes to hold the soil, in containers and in low-maintenance gardens. Mass-planted it creates a uniform carpet that replaces lawn where grass struggles.
