More about this plant
Big Blue lily turf is an evergreen, grass-like perennial that forms dense clumps of narrow, arching dark green leaves about 1 to 1.5 feet tall and wide, with spikes of lavender flowers in late summer and early fall followed by shiny black berries that last through winter. It wants acidic to neutral, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade, tolerates drought, salt and deer once established, and is a classic edging plant for walkways and paths or a ground cover under trees and in front of shrubs. Cut the tops back each February before new growth begins.
