Description
Liriope spicata 'Silver Dragon' is a low-growing, ornamental groundcover with dramatic silvery-white leaves edged in green. In late summer, it produces short spikes of lavender flowers followed by black berries. Ideal for shady areas, pathways, and erosion control, it spreads gently to form dense, weed-suppressing clumps. Tolerates heat, humidity, drought, and even light foot traffic once established.
- Hardiness USDA Zones are 5 to 10
- Thrives in Full Shade to Part Sun
- Typically grows 8–12 inches tall and spreads 12–18 inches wide
Note: This plant ships in containers. May appear dormant or thinner during cooler seasons, which is normal. Adaptable to most soil types but avoid overly soggy locations.
