Description:
Liriope Monroe White is treasured for its lush foliage and elegant white flower spikes. It features tufts of strap-like, arching leaves that are deep green in color, forming a dense and attractive ground cover. In late summer to early autumn, it produces upright spikes of small, bell-shaped flowers that are pure white in colour, creating a striking contrast against the dark green foliage. These flowers are followed by small black berries that add further visual interest. It is a low-maintenance plant that thrives in partial shade to full shade and well-drained soil. Often used as a ground cover, border plant, or edging in gardens and landscapes. Grows to approx. 30-45cm H x W.
