watering
Water lily turf deeply once every 7-10 days, or whenever the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid frequent shallow watering, which encourages shallow root systems and creates more frequent water needs. Water thoroughly, saturating the root zone, and allow the soil to dry out before rewatering. Use a soil moisture meter to gauge when the lily turf needs a drink.
sunlight
Lily turf (Liriope spicata 'Gin-ryu' SILVER DRAGON) appreciates full sun, but can tolerate partial shade in warmer climates. It prefers at least 6 hours of direct sun for growing healthy and vibrant foliage. In areas with intense summers, providing some afternoon shade can help reduce stress from high temperatures.
pruning
Lily turf (Liriope spicata 'Gin-ryu' SILVER DRAGON) should be pruned twice a year, once in late winter and again in early summer. To prune late winter, cut back the foliage to the ground and remove any dead, damaged, or diseased stems. In early summer, cut back any unruly, overgrown foliage by about 1/3. Make sure to sterilize your pruning tools before and after use to prevent the spread of disease.
