Do Liriope Come Back Every Year
They also look great in pots too.
Do liriope come back every year. Does monkey grass come back every year. Pruning monkey grass or trimming back monkey grass isnt too complicated. You can divide Liriope anytime of the year as it is a very hardy plant.
The foliage actually looks okay throughout most of the winter. Simply dig up a clump tease the roots apart and replant the divisions. I see my neighbor cut back his liriope every spring.
It will start to grow by mid-spring. Mine looks exactly like your pictures and has purple blooms on stalks in midsummer. It blooms in early Summer with a tall purple flowering stem that shoots up out of the mounding dense foliage.
Liriope spreads quickly. This is a great plant for adding interest and colorful bloom in both. Yes it does come back every year.
Cutting back cold-damaged foliage can wait until anytime between January and April depending on when the threat of subzero temperatures subsides in your area. The best time to cut back liriope is at any time of year. This should begin late in the winter growing season before new growth of the plant has resumed in the spring.
They make wonderful ground covers borders for flowers borders for sidewalks flowers around trees and they are just overall beautiful for any type of landscaping. But the Black Mondo Grass is the fastest growing for me and spreads very quickly. Then come spring the old growth starts to die back and new growth emerges from the crown.
