Popularity

Once established, liriope plants are fairly drought-tolerant, as long as they have well-drained soil. During the first growing season, water the plants regularly—but not every day, as that can cause soggy soil conditions.

Water

Lily turf plants can be grown in almost any amount of light from full sun to deep shade, except in regions with hot summers or extremely cold winters, where they shoulld be planted in partial shade. Variegated Lily turf grows best in partial shade.

Sunlight

Lily turf is tolerant of a wide range of soil types, but grows best when it is planted in loose, rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil.

Soil

Liriope doesn’t need a lot of fertilizer. A light application of 10-10-10 – around ¼ cup per plant – applied in the spring is sufficient, especially if you have fertile soil. In fact, too much fertilizer can make this plant more prone to disease and insect problems.

Fertilizer

Liriope plants prefer moderately warm daytime temperatures, ranging between 68 to 75°F. If liriope is planted in very cold climates, it will likely die back in winter (in warmer climates, it is evergreen). In cold climates, some winter protection may be necessary.
