lily turf

Lily turf (Liriope muscari 'Royal Purple') should be watered twice per week, with approximately 1 to 2 inches of water each time. Watering should be done in the morning, as this would allow any excess water to dry throughout the day so the roots don't become waterlogged. During the summer months, when temperatures and sunlight are higher, it is important to pay attention to soil moisture levels and water more often if the soil seems dry. Additionally, it can be helpful to apply a thick layer of mulch around the plant to help conserve soil moisture.

The lily turf (Liriope muscari 'Royal Purple') plant prefers full to partial sunlight, but should not be placed in direct, intense sun. The best time of day for this plant to receive sunlight is from late morning to early afternoon. This plant does not need to be in direct sunlight for long amounts of time, as too much direct sun can cause the foliage to scorch. During the hottest times of the year, it may be beneficial to place the lily turf in a spot that receives dappled or filtered sunlight to avoid burning the foliage. The lily turf will perform best in areas where it receives around 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per day.

Lily turf (Liriope muscari 'Royal Purple') should be pruned once a year in late winter to early spring. Trim 1 third of the foliage off at the base and use sharp shears or scissors to cut the grass-like foliage flush with the ground. This will promote more vigorous growth in the coming season. Take care to trim back only the foliage and not the roots or crowns. Mulch heavily around the plant with materials such as peat moss or compost to conserve moisture and reduce weeds.
