No. Liriope muscari is native to East Asia, primarily China, Japan, and Korea. ‘Big Blue’ is a cultivar of this non-native species and is widely used in American landscapes for its groundcover qualities and tolerance to tough conditions, but it offers little to no ecological value to native wildlife and pollinators.
‘Big Blue’ Lilyturf is prized for its neat, clumping habit and grass-like, evergreen foliage that grows 12 to 18 inches tall and wide. In late summer, it produces spikes of violet-purple flowers, followed by small black berries. It’s commonly used for edging, mass plantings, and erosion control, especially in shady or drought-prone areas.
Big Blue Lilyturf thrives in full sun to full shade and is extremely adaptable to a wide range of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils. It prefers moderately moist, well-drained conditions but is also drought-tolerant once established. It is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 10.
Not significantly. While the flowers may attract some late-season bees, Liriope muscari is a non-native ornamental that does not support native insect larvae or provide meaningful habitat for wildlife. For better ecological function, consider using native groundcovers in place of or alongside Liriope.
Yes. It is deer- and rabbit-resistant, and very low-maintenance. It requires little care once established, but benefits from an early spring trim to remove winter-damaged foliage. It’s a tough, resilient plant suitable for high-traffic, low-maintenance areas, but it may spread and need occasional thinning.
