It requires minimal care, needing only occasional trimming and a light spring fertilizer. Whether used to accent pathways or brighten shady areas, this liriope is a timeless choice for any landscape design.
When to Plant Monroe White Liriope
Early spring is by far the best time to plant White Liriope! This will give the plants the entire growing season to establish. Spacing should be every 12-18 inches depending on how dense you'd like your plantings to be.
Overall, the Liriope Monroe White is easy to care for once it’s established in your garden. New plants will need extra TLC to keep the soil moist, but after one year, this plant will become more drought-tolerant, and you can spend more time appreciating it and less time hovering over it.
Be sure young plants or new transplants get plenty of water during the first year in their new location because they’re a little pickier about how much water they receive since they’re working on growing a robust root system.
White Monroe Liriope Landscape Ideas
Liriope Monroe White is a versatile perennial that can add beauty and texture to your landscape. Its low-growing habit and attractive foliage make it a popular choice for a variety of garden settings.
One popular use for Liriope Monroe White is as a ground cover. It can be planted in mass to create a dense, carpet-like effect. This is especially effective in areas where you want to suppress weeds or erosion. Liriope can also be used as an edging plant along walkways, patios, or flower beds.
Another creative way to use White Lirope is as a companion plant. It can be paired with a variety of other plants, including shrubs, perennials, and annuals. For example, Liriope can be planted at the base of a flowering tree such as the Red Drift® Rose Tree to create a visually appealing combination.
Pruning your Liriope will encourage new growth and keep your plants looking tidy. You can prune off the tops of the flower stalks in late winter or early spring before new growth pops up. You can also entirely cut back the plants by mowing over them with a lawn mower set to the highest setting. This will encourage new foliage growth. You don’t need to prune throughout the year unless you want to remove certain plant parts.
