Dense ground cover that grows 8 to 9 in. high and spreads widely by underground stems; can be invasive. Deep green, grasslike leaves are just 1/4 in. wide. Foliage is not as upright as that of Liriope muscari. Pale lilac to white flowers appear in spikelike clusters barely taller than the leaves. Set plants 1 ft. apart for quick cover.
