Notes
'Silver Dragon' creeping liriope (Liriope spicata 'Silver Dragon') is a perennial for ground cover, borders, shade gardens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It forms a clump, grows at a moderate rate, and stays evergreen. It also tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Western sword fern, and Downy serviceberry.
