watering

Lily turf (Liriope muscari 'Tidwell's Big Blue') should be watered regularly, especially during the summer months. Watering should be done deeply at least once a week, preferably in the morning. Drought-stressed plants should be watered more often. The soil should be kept consistently moist, but not wet or soggy. This species prefers moist soil and will not tolerate drought or standing water for prolonged periods. If the soil dries out, it may need to be soaked deeply. Water should be applied directly to the soil, avoiding splashing the foliage.

sunlight

Lily turf (Liriope muscari 'Tidwell's Big Blue') prefers full sun to partial shade. It will tolerate more sun in cooler climates and some shade in warmer climates. The plants will bloom best if they get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. During the summer months, it is best to place the plants in areas that receive morning sunlight and afternoon shade.

pruning

Lily turf should be pruned once a year during the early spring months, typically between March and April. Pruning should remove any leaves and stems that are dead, dying, or damaged and reduce the overall turf plant size to a desired size. It is also important to trim off any flower heads if desired, as this helps to prevent the spread of the plant's seeds. When pruning, it is important to use sharp scissors or pruning shears to avoid damaging the foliage. Care should also be taken to evenly trim the turf so that it looks neat and tidy.
