Liriope muscari 'Royal Purple'

Common Name:
Lilyturf 'Royal Purple'

Description:
Liriope muscari 'Royal Purple' is a hardy, clump-forming perennial prized for its deep green, strappy foliage and striking, rich purple flower spikes that emerge in late summer to autumn. This variety stands out for its intense flower colour, which is darker and more vibrant than other Liriope selections. The blooms rise above the dense, grass-like foliage, followed by small, glossy black berries in autumn. 'Royal Purple' thrives in full sun to deep shade, making it a versatile choice for borders, edging, mass planting, and as an understorey ground cover. It is highly drought-tolerant once established, frost-resistant, and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for Melbourne gardens.
