Notes
'Ingwersen' lilyturf (Liriope muscari 'Ingwersen') is a perennial for borders, containers, ground cover, and shade gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It forms a clumping, evergreen mound that blooms in summer and again in autumn. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Drought and salt tolerance make it easy to grow.
Pairs well with Nigrescens mondo grass, Brilliance autumn fern, and Princess Nadia ajuga.
