Variegated Liriope (1 Gallon)

🌿 Variegated Liriope (Liriope muscari 'Variegata')
A touch of gold on every blade—timeless, tidy, and bright as a summer morning.

In every garden, there’s that one plant that seems to shine just a little more. Variegated Liriope brings that subtle spark, with green-and-gold striped leaves that light up a shady corner or edge a walkway like a row of sunshine. It’s graceful, grounded, and always neat—just like your favorite Sunday dress or the porch steps swept fresh before company comes over.

Whether it's lining your flower beds or planted under the oaks where little else will grow, this easygoing beauty does its job with quiet charm.

🌾 A Classic with a Twist of Cheer
Variegated Liriope is part of the beloved Liriope family—known throughout the South for its dependability and good manners—but this one has a little extra flair. Its yellow-edged leaves offer brightness even when flowers aren’t blooming, and come late summer, it surprises with short spikes of lavender-purple blooms that peek through like tiny blessings.

💌 What It Represents
This little gem stands for joy in the everyday and resilience with grace. It reminds us that even the simplest things—a tidy border, a fresh start, a golden edge—can bring joy that lasts.

🌞 Where It Grows Best

• Zones: 6–10

• Sunlight: Full sun to full shade. It’s happy wherever you need a splash of brightness.

• Soil: Well-drained soil. Tolerates clay, sand, and most garden soils.

• Size: Grows 12–15 inches tall and wide. Neat, mounded shape that doesn’t sprawl.

🌱 How to Love Your Liriope:

• Watering: Regular water when young; once established, it’s drought-tolerant.

• Fertilizer: A light dose in spring encourages healthy foliage.

• Pruning: In late winter, trim back to a few inches to refresh its color for spring.

• Bonus: Evergreen in warmer climates, deer-resistant, and a great erosion fighter.

🌸 Pair It With These Beauties:

• Impatiens or Begonias – for color that pops in the shade.

• Heuchera (Coral Bells) – adds colorful foliage and soft contrast.

• Azaleas or Gardenias – Liriope makes a picture-perfect base.

• Hostas – Create a serene, layered look in shaded beds.
