A low maintenance plant that works equally well in containers or borders. Liriope muscari 'Monroe White' looks very effective when used to line the edges of a partially shaded pathway, or when planted throughout a woodland floor where it will add year-round interest.
The larger than average, pure white flowers appear in short racemes at the top of green stalks and create a vibrant contrast to the rich green foliage.

Liriope thrives in well-drained soil with partial shade, though it can tolerate full sun. When planting in spring or autumn, space the plants 30-45cm (12-18in) apart to allow for their spreading habit.
Regular watering is important during the first few seasons to establish, after which time the plant becomes more tolerant to dry conditions. In early spring, cut back tired leaves to encourage fresh growth, and apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds - this will also protect crowns in colder climates.
Every 3-4 years, lift and divide large clumps in spring to maintain vigour.
