watering
Big blue lilyturf (Liriope muscari) should be watered once every 5 to 7 days, depending on the weather and the time of year. In spring and summer, you should water the plant deeply, ensuring that the soil is moist throughout. In fall and winter, water the plant lightly, focusing on keeping the top inch or 2 of soil moist. Watering should be done around the base of the plant and not over the foliage. Avoid over-watering, as this can cause root rot and other issues.
sunlight
Big blue lilyturf (Liriope muscari) is a species of plant that grows best in partial shade to full sun. It can grow in partial sun or partial shade, but will look best with at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day. It can tolerate some morning or afternoon sun, so in areas with intense midday sun, you can place it in a shaded spot. For best results, give it an area of direct sunlight for the majority of the day.
pruning
Big Blue Lilyturf (Liriope muscari) should be pruned once a year - in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be done by simply cutting the foliage down to about 4 inches from the ground. For overgrown plants, it is best to prune back (by at least 1-third) to encourage new growth and a dense appearance. Doing this will also help to prevent the plant from becoming leggy and scraggly. After pruning, be sure to spread a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to prevent weeds from taking over the soil.
