Liriope muscari 'Silvery Sunproof'

Silvery Sunproof Lilyturf

Liriope muscari ‘Silvery Sunproof’ (Variegated Lilyturf) is an evergreen perennial with a clump-forming, arching habit, featuring narrow, grass-like leaves striped in silvery white and green. Soft lavender to lilac flower spikes appear in summer above the foliage. This cultivar is especially valued for its bright variegation and for performing better in sunnier sites than many other liriopes.

Type: Perennial
Mature Size: 15–18" W × 15–18" H
USDA Zones: 6a–11
Form: Clump-forming, arching

Features & Landscape Uses:
Excellent for edging, borders, containers, and mass plantings. The silvery variegated foliage brightens shady beds but also handles more sun than many other liriope selections. Useful for groundcover, walkway edging, and adding year-round texture and contrast.

Care:
Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly during the first growing season. Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Divide clumps every 2–3 years if needed to refresh growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
