| Botanical Name | Liriope muscari 'Big Blue' |
| Description | 'Big Blue' is a workhorse in the Houston landscape, known for its ability to form tidy, weed-suppressing clumps. It is remarkably resilient across different soil conditions; while it handles the region's heavy clay better than most, it truly flourishes in loose, well-amended soil. It is an excellent choice for erosion control on slopes or as a formal border along walkways in both sun and shade. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Deep Shade |
| Height x Width | 12-15 in. Tall x 12-18 in. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; very drought tolerant once established. |
| Zones | 5 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. |
| Pruning | Mow or trim back to 2-3 inches in late February to remove winter-burned tips and make room for new growth. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
