The plant forms mounds of long, narrow evergreen leaves. L. muscari is not so cold hardy as L. spicata and so will need winter protection. The plant can be grown in sun or shade and in any well-drained soil. The plant is often used as an edging plant or as a ground cover. Liriope can withstand some dryness.
Propagation is by division, but the plant is slow to recover and is best left alone.
