Liriope muscari 'Silvery Sunproof' is a popular and durable evergreen grass-like perennial with narrow, upright, variegated leaves of dark green with gold stripes that age to white. As the name suggests, Silvery Sunproof Lilyturf tolerates more sunlight than other Lilyturf but the leaf color may be less yellow. Will take full sun in coastal climates but requires part shade in hotter, interior climates. Violet-colored flowers bloom on lilac-colored stalks in summer. This lilyturf is easy to grow and reliable. Use this dazzling perennial to brighten any shady spot. Perfect plant for containers, a woodland garden, mass plantings, borders or edging.
How large does it grow and what is its growth habit?
It typically grows about 10 to 18 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide, forming a dense, clumping mound of grass-like foliage.
What light and site conditions does it prefer?
It tolerates full sun to part shade; it has better sun tolerance than many variegated varieties but in very hot conditions some afternoon shade is beneficial. It prefers well-drained soil.
What about watering, maintenance and general care requirements?
Provide consistent moisture during the first growing season; once established it is relatively drought-tolerant. Avoid sites with poor drainage or standing water. A light shear in late winter or early spring keeps it tidy.
What pests, diseases or caution notes apply?
It is generally low-maintenance but may suffer root or crown rot or anthracnose in overly wet, poorly drained conditions. In very hot, full sun its variegation may fade somewhat.
