The Variegated Liriope (Monkey Grass) has long and narrow green dense foliage with contrasting yellow stripes. In late summer this Liriope will develop spikes with purple/lavender spikes that will be followed by dark blue berry like fruits. This ornamental grass has a clumping growth habit, and once mature can reach 12-15in. tall. Liriope is very adaptable and can thrive in poor soils and dry conditions. Variegated Liriope is great when planted as a ground cover or border planting along a flowerbed or side walk. Though it is part of the lily family, monkey grass is toxic to both cats and dogs. However, symptoms are minor and include stomachache and nausea/vomiting. Mondo grass is also deer resistant.
