Liriope muscari 'Emerald Cascade' pbr
‘Emerald Cascade’ is a very tough plant that also delivers on looks. It has spectacular emerald-green weeping foliage that planted en masse is sure to stun. During spring and summer its glossy green foliage is contrasted with cobalt blue berries.
Cultural
Liriope can survive in full shade but growth can become elongated. Frost tolerant once established and can cope with coastal conditions.
Soil:
Prefers a fertile, well-drained soil but can tolerate poorer soils.
Aspect:
Full sun to part shade.
Maintenance:
To promote fresh new leaves in spring, cut old foliage down close to the base in winter. Can be divided in late winter or early spring. Light feeders, apply a small amount of slow-release fertiliser in spring. Will benefit from a yearly application of mulch. Susceptible to snail and slug predation, apply baits as required.
Water Requirements:
Drought tolerant once established but will benefit from supplementary watering.
Seasonal Interest:
Late summer to autumn flowering.
Landscape Uses
Widely used in landscaping, Liriope is an ideal ground cover and border plant. Smaller varieties are perfect for planting between pavers. They are also great for underplanting and look fantastic with other glossy-leaf plants such as Gardenia florida and Helleborus varieties.
