Super Blue Liriope is a clumping evergreen perennial that provides dense, grass-like foliage with vibrant purple flower spikes in summer. It thrives in Texas landscapes as a border plant, ground cover, or container accent, offering year-round texture and color. Its arching, strap-like leaves remain lush, making it a low-maintenance option for mass plantings and edging walkways.
Super Blue Liriope prefers partial to full sun and tolerates a variety of soils, including acidic, alkaline, and clay-rich conditions. It is highly drought tolerant once established and can withstand poor drainage, making it an excellent choice for wet or dry areas. Deer tend to avoid it, and it is resistant to most pests and diseases.
Reaching a mature height of 18-24 inches with a spread of 12-18 inches, Super Blue Liriope is ideal for low-growing borders and ground cover. When planting in mass, space plants 12 inches apart for full coverage.
Compared to Giant Liriope, which grows up to 3 feet tall, and Big Blue Liriope, which stays around 12 inches tall, Super Blue provides a balanced mid-sized option with enhanced vigor and color.
In USDA Zones 5-10, Super Blue Liriope is cold hardy and evergreen, requiring minimal winter care. In colder climates, mulching around the base helps insulate the roots. It may experience some leaf tip browning in extreme frost but recovers well in spring.
