Liriope muscari (LIRJ) JUST RIGHT®

Common Name:
Just Right Lilyturf

Description:
Liriope muscari (LIRJ) JUST RIGHT® is a hardy, clumping ground cover prized for its consistently neat appearance, reliable performance, and adaptability to a wide range of garden conditions. This selected cultivar maintains a clean, mid-sized growth habit that doesn’t overgrow or become invasive, living up to its name as a “just right” option for modern landscaping. Its glossy, deep green strappy foliage holds its form all year round, making it ideal for borders, garden edges, mass planting, or understorey coverage. In late summer and early autumn, slender flower spikes emerge above the foliage, adorned with mauve to lavender-purple blooms that add a soft decorative touch. JUST RIGHT® thrives in Melbourne’s climate, performing well in full sun through to heavy shade, and tolerating both dry periods and light frost once established. It is particularly valued for its low maintenance needs, weed suppression, and high performance in both clay and sandy soils.
