When we first got this plant from China in 2005, we knew we had something different...we just didn't know what. Liriope platyphylla makes a tight 18" tall x 4' wide clump of 2' long x 1" wide, arching, glossy dark green leaves. The 3' tall stalks of small lavender flowers top the clump in June and July. Some mothball-sniffing herbarium taxonomist went and lumped Liriope platyphylla in with Liriope muscari...no way, Jose. Too much naphthalene can do really strange things to your mind...this is not your grandmother's Liriope muscari!
