Liriope Variegated (Liriope muscari 'Variegata') 

Description:
Liriope Variegated (Liriope muscari 'Variegata') is a hardy, evergreen perennial ground cover prized for its striking green leaves edged in creamy yellow. This low-maintenance plant forms graceful, arching clumps that add vibrant color and texture to borders, pathways, mass plantings, and around trees or shrubs. In late summer, it produces spikes of lavender-purple flowers that rise above the foliage, followed by small black berries for added seasonal interest. Liriope Variegated thrives in sun or shade, adapts to a wide range of soils, and provides excellent erosion control, making it a favorite for both residential and commercial landscapes.
