'Royal Purple' Liriope, also known as Lily Turf or Monkey Grass, is a tough groundcover with beautiful, spiked purple blooms.

(Liriope muscari)

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
This really useful plant is a beauty lining walks, or defining the front of a border. Its easy to grow, spreads nicely, and stays low. Best of all, this hybrid gives you beautiful purple flowers each summer.
Whether you call it Lilyturf, Monkey Grass, or Liriope, once you've planted it, that area is done. Lilyturf is not really a grass or a lily, but you'll love it.
