Description:
Liriope Elmarco is a dwarf form of Liriope Big Blue. It is a compact and versatile perennial plant with dark green, grass-like foliage. This cultivar reaches a height of about 20-30 cm and spreads up to 30-45 cm, making it perfect for borders, edging, or as a groundcover. In late summer to early autumn, Elmarco produces lovely spikes of lavender-purple flowers that create a striking contrast against the foliage. Thriving in partial to full shade, this Liriope variety is low-maintenance and adapts well to various soil types. With its compact size, vibrant flowers, and attractive foliage, Liriope Elmarco adds beauty and texture to gardens, containers, or landscape plantings. Grows to approx. 30cm H and 40cm W.
