lily turf

Lily turf (Liriope muscari 'Okina') is typically drought-tolerant and does not require a lot of water to thrive. In general, you should water the plant once each week, providing enough water to make the soil evenly moist. During hot summer months, you will need to water more frequently to ensure that the soil does not dry out. During the winter when the plant is dormant, all watering can be reduced or stopped altogether. You may also need to water the plant more during the hot, dry periods, such as during the afternoon when the sun is out.

Lily turf (Liriope muscari 'Okina') prefers full sun to partial shade, but can tolerate some shade. The best times to give the plant full sun are from mid-morning to mid-afternoon, usually 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. Though the plant can handle full sun for the entire day in cooler, northern climates, it should not receive full sun in hot climates during the hottest parts of the day (10am-4pm). During hotter times, providing some morning shade is beneficial.

Lily turf (Liriope muscari 'Okina') should be pruned once a year, in late winter. Pruning should be done to maintain a neat, mounded shape and to remove any brown or damaged foliage. Begin by pruning off any dead or damaged leaves and stems. Cut away any branches that appear too long, as this could create an uneven, unappealing appearance. Additionally, you can trim away old flower stalks to keep the plant looking neat. If parts of the foliage appear too tall, they can also be trimmed to reshape the mounding base. Finally, it can also help to lightly trim back all of the foliage to prevent it from becoming too crowded.
