Liriope - Silver Dragon
The Liriope 'Silver Dragon', Liriope spicata 'Silver dragon', is an attractive evergreen perennial that grows 10 to 12 inches tall; has dark green, grass-like leaves that are vertically striped with white vertical striping. 'Silver Dragon' is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade.  Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in early spring; prune in winter. The erect flower spikes with pale lavender flowers appear, somewhat hidden, among the leaves in late summer.  The flowers often give way to greenish berries in fall.   This ‘Silver Dragon’ Liriope spreads by underground rhizomes and makes a wonderful groundcover; can be used for erosion control; also plant under tough areas such as shallow rooted trees or along ponds or streams. The bright variegated leaves make a super edging plant that highlights partially shaded beds; brings a sense of light into darker plantings or woodland gardens too. ‘Silver Dragon’ can be paired with large-leafed, shade loving varieties like Heuchera, Elephant Ear and Hydrangea to set off the narrow, grass-like foliage! * Evergreen * Erect flower spikes * Berries in fall

The compact grass-like foliage is Rust resistant and it matures to 15-18 inches tall. Use as an accent plant, in borders or in mass plantings; grows well near water gardens and ponds. Daylilies can be planted as single plants when you are doing a mass planting, or in groups of 2 or 3 together which form clumps. Good soil health is a key factor in growing great daylilies. Daylilies do best with a pH between 6.5 and 7 (neutral to slightly acid). In most cases, increasing the organic matter in your soil will go a long way toward bringing your soil's pH into the proper range. Daylilies grow best when planted in full sun to partial shade . In areas that receive less than 6 hours of sun during the day, your daylilies will probably produce fewer and smaller blooms, and the foliage may not be as robust.
