Liriope muscari (Low Maintenance Border)

Liriope muscari

Evergreen Border Grass good for Melbourne Gardens

Liriope muscari (commonly called lilyturf or border grass) is one of the most reliable low-maintenance groundcovers for Melbourne gardens. This evergreen strappy plant forms dense clumps of glossy foliage that naturally suppress weeds, making it ideal for garden edging, pathways, driveways and underplanting trees. In late summer to autumn, spikes of soft purple flowers rise above the foliage, followed by small decorative berries, adding seasonal interest without extra work.
