Description:
Liriope muscari ‘Evergreen Giant’ is a tough, clump-forming, strappy-leaved perennial prized for its lush green foliage and vibrant flower spikes. Larger and more vigorous than other Liriope varieties, it is ideal for mass planting, borders, underplanting, and erosion control. This low-maintenance plant provides year-round structure and thrives in a wide range of Australian conditions.
Flowers:
Tall spikes of purple to violet flowers appear above the foliage in late summer to autumn, followed by small black berries. The blooms are long-lasting and add seasonal colour.
Foliage:
Glossy, dark green, arching strap-like leaves form dense, fountain-like clumps, creating a bold textural feature in the landscape.
Fruit:
Small, round, black berries appear after flowering and may persist into winter.
Form & Size:
Robust, clumping plant growing approximately 60–80cm high and 50–70cm wide.
Growing Conditions:
- Position: Thrives in full sun to full shade.
- Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soils but tolerates a range of soil types, including clay and sandy soils.
- Climate: Suited to most Australian climates, including coastal and frost-prone areas.
- Watering: Drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional deep watering in dry periods.
Uses:
- Excellent for borders, edging paths, or defining garden beds.

- Effective groundcover or erosion control on banks and slopes.
- Suitable for mass planting or low-maintenance garden designs.
Maintenance:
- Very low-maintenance.
