Liriope muscari ‘Silvery Sunproof’
Blooming Time
Exposure
Striped white and green, this variegated selection is colorful and attractive. It is both excellent for creating contrast in shady settings and as a colorful edging or general purpose ground cover. ‘Variegata’ forms neat clumps, shows good drought tolerance, and bears light purple flowers in fall. In west Michigan, Zone 6, it easily comes through our winters. In Zone 5, however, it should be sited to protect it from winter winds.
