Liriope muscari 'Royal Purple'—commonly known as Royal Purple Lily Turf, and Monkey Grass 'Royal Purple'—is a hardy, evergreen perennial that forms dense clumps of narrow, arching, dark green foliage. In mid to late summer, it produces upright spikes of deep purple flowers, adding a striking contrast to the lush green leaves. These blooms are followed by small, black berries that often persist into winter, providing additional seasonal interest.

This versatile and adaptable plant thrives in a variety of soil conditions, including clay and sandy soils. It performs well in full sun to part shade and is excellent for ground cover, borders, erosion control, and mass plantings. Unlike some other Liriope varieties, 'Royal Purple' maintains a clumping habit and does not spread aggressively, making it suitable for more controlled garden settings.

Once established, Royal Purple Lily Turf is drought-tolerant, resistant to deer and rabbits, and requires minimal upkeep, making it a durable and attractive addition to any landscape.

Royal Purple Liriope Care

Provide full sun to part shade for best growth. While it tolerates full shade, flowering may be reduced, and the foliage may become more elongated.

Plant in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. It is adaptable to various soil types, including clay and sandy soils, and tolerates urban pollution well.

Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once mature, Royal Purple Lily Turf is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells.

Fertilization is optional but can enhance growth. Apply a slow-release fertilizer in early spring for best results. Our slow release fertilizer is a great option.

Minimal pruning is required. Trim back old foliage in early spring before new growth emerges to refresh the plant and encourage a cleaner appearance.

Space 12" to 18" apart for proper air circulation and to allow the plants to fill in naturally.
