When to plant big blue liriope

Big blue liriope (lilyturf) is a clump-forming, grass-like evergreen groundcover and edging plant with arching dark green leaves and erect purple flower spikes in late summer to fall (NC State: August to September), followed by black berries that persist through winter. Plant or divide in spring or fall in acidic-to-neutral, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade; water regularly the first year, then cut the old foliage back in late winter before new growth.

Big Blue Liriope is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
