Liriope

Liriope, commonly known as lilyturf, is an evergreen perennial that adapts to a variety of sites including clay, sand, and deep shade. It also tolerates heat, humidity, drought, and salt. The grass-like foliage stays less than 18 inches high and makes an attractive ground cover. It sends up bloom spikes in summer holding clusters of purple or white flowers that transition to dark berries. One of the species, Liriope spicata spreads quickly by rhizomes and can be used as a turf alternative.
