A Must-Have for Your Garden - Abundant and Tranquil Monkeygrass

 

Liliorope is a go-to plant for most gardeners. This perennial favorite is attractive, available at most nurseries and almost indestructible. Because it is shallow rooted liliorope is also slow to spread but easy to split and plant elsewhere in the garden.

The list of why this pretty plant is popular can go on. Here are a few reasons why Summer Casual likes them.

• The purple flowers arrive at the mid to late summer summer are very pretty and can last for weeks.
• They are low maintenance. Heat and lack of rain is not a problem. They need watering but not everyday.
• They can be planted at the base of trees without issue.
• They are very hardy don't generally look rough around the edges.
• They make a lovely border that can last a half year or longer.
• Deer don't especially like them.
• They come back year after year and are a good price point for the budget gardener.
• The more the better. Large groups of them look absolutely amazing when in bloom.
• They are easy to split and replant.

 

 And, although it is unusual to do so, they can look very pretty as a potted plant.
