Liriope (Liriope muscari), also called Lilyturf or Monkey Grass, is a tough, evergreen, grass-like perennial that forms neat clumps of arching foliage topped with purple flower spikes in late summer. It is one of the most dependable border and groundcover plants in Florida landscapes.
Why Florida Customers Choose Us
Liriope Breakdown
Appearance:
Dense tufts of strap-like, dark green leaves about half an inch wide that arch gracefully outward.
In late summer, upright spikes of small lavender-purple flowers rise above the foliage, followed by shiny black berries.
Growth Rate:
Moderate.
Clumps thicken steadily and can be divided to make more plants.
Size:
12–18 inches tall and wide.
Available in 1-gallon (4–6 inches) and 3-gallon (8–10 inches).
Sunlight Requirements:
Part shade to full sun.
In South Florida it looks best with some afternoon shade; full-sun plantings need a little more water.
Water Needs:
Low once established.
Water regularly the first few months, then only in extended dry spells.
Soil Preferences:
Adaptable to sandy, loamy, and clay soils as long as drainage is reasonable.
Maintenance:
Low.
Shear or mow old foliage back in late winter before new growth for a fresh look. Virtually pest-free and deer resistant.
Landscape Use:
Edging walkways and driveways, borders, mass groundcover under trees and palms, slopes for erosion control, and filling narrow strips where grass struggles.
Climate Tolerance:
USDA zones 6–11.
Fully evergreen in South Florida and completely untroubled by cold snaps.
Liriope is the finishing touch that makes a bed look intentional — a clean green edge that needs almost nothing from you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Plant & Care for Liriope in Florida
Choose Sun + Spacing
Most Florida plants prefer full to partial sun. Check mature width and space accordingly so plants don’t crowd as they fill in.
Dig Wide, Not Deep
Dig a hole 2–3x wider than the container and slightly shallow. This encourages roots to spread outward into native soil.
Plant at Proper Height
Remove from the pot, loosen circling roots, and plant with the root ball level to slightly above grade.
Water to Establish
Water deeply right after planting. For the first 10–14 days, consistent moisture is critical—don’t let the root ball dry out.
Mulch + Light Maintenance
Apply 2–3 inches of mulch (keep off the stem). Once settled, light trimming encourages fuller growth.

What Florida Customers Say
I was searching for a better plant source and after checking the internet, the consensus by most locals was to check out Dino's Palms. I have ordered multiple times and every plant I have gotten has been above expectations with health and fullness. The customer service is excellent! I am kind of blown away at how great this company is and will continue to use this as my main plant connection.
Exceptional service!!! Awesome customer service. Dany was very helpful and answered my questions promptly. My palm tree was delivered quickly. They will be my 1st choice when looking for unique and nice looking plants. The Best in the Business..100% recommended 😃😃😃
Bought three plants from this company, Dino and his wife are very helpful and pretty good delivery speed if you live in West Palm Beach (free delivery). The plants are healthy, vibrant, and very well established and much better than the product you find online or via Home Depot. You get more plant for the money and the deals are pretty good. Once you buy one plant, you'll be impressed and purchase more.
