Product description
“Moneymaker” Big Blue is a low-lying, perennial evergreen with strap or grass-shaped leaves. The dark-green leaves spread out in abundance from a central clump, which can be divided in the spring time for further propagation.
Later, towards the end of summer and through autumn, form small, rounded pearl-like buds on central stalks. The flowers are coloured a rich, vibrant purple and the stalks are often coloured deeper reds, with almost pink notes.
Suggestions for the various uses of this plant; it is recommended for groundcover and as an edging plant. These varieties prefer shade to partially-shaded areas. As such, they do well in informal garden settings and accents in decorative flower beds where later blooming plants are desired.
Ability to grow in almost any soil type, but sandy soils are preferred because of the better drainage. This variety is beautiful and relatively easy to maintain. Avoid clipping or cutting new growth and may only need an occasionally raking through the bed to clear out dead foliage.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Liriope thrives in low-maintenance areas with moderate moisture. Cut back old foliage in early spring for fresh growth.
How to Water
Water Liriope regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Once established, Liriope is somewhat drought-tolerant but benefits from consistent moisture. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Liriope in well-draining soil with partial to full shade. Dig a hole that’s twice the size of the root ball, and space plants 30-45cm apart. Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and firm it gently around the roots.
