Liriope muscari 'Monroe White'

Monroe White Lilyturf

Liriope muscari ‘Monroe White’ (Monroe’s White Lilyturf) is an evergreen, clump-forming perennial with arching, strap-like dark green foliage and upright spikes of pure white flowers that appear from mid- to late summer into early fall. It is especially valued for its clean white bloom color and for staying in a clump rather than spreading aggressively by rhizomes.

Type: Perennial
Mature Size: 12–18" W × 12–18" H
USDA Zones: 5a–10b
Form: Clump-forming, arching

Light: Part shade to full shade
Soil / Water: Well-drained, average to humus-rich soils; moderate water, prefers even moisture but tolerates some drought once established
Bloom Time / Length: Mid- to late summer into early fall; moderate to long-lasting (about 3–6 weeks)

Wildlife: Bees; deer and rabbits are commonly reported as resistant.

Features & Landscape Uses:
Excellent for edging, borders, mass plantings, woodland gardens, and shady groundcover areas. The dark green foliage and white flower spikes brighten shaded spaces, and its clumping habit makes it easier to control than spreading liriope types.

Care:
Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly during establishment. It performs best in shade or partial shade; in hot sun the foliage may yellow or look stressed.
