Ideal for borders, group plantings, or even as a potted feature, Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker' is a robust option for adding texture and color.

Key Features

The Liriope 'Moneymaker' variety offers several key features making it an excellent choice for gardeners:

Its evergreen foliage provides year-round visual interest, maintaining a vivid green color through all seasons.
The delightful purple flowers emerge in late summer, adding a fresh burst of color when many other plants start to fade.

Tips

For optimal growth, plant Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker' in partial shade to shade. This will encourage the most robust foliage and flower production.
When watering, ensure the plant receives a steady amount, particularly during dry periods. However, avoid overwatering as lilyturf prefers soil that is not waterlogged.
To propagate new plants and maintain the health of your Liriope, consider dividing the clumps every few years. This can easily be done in either spring or autumn.

Ideal placement of a Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker'

Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker' flourishes in locations that offer partial shade to full shade, making it an excellent choice for understory plantings or areas beneath a canopy of trees. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, provided they are well-drained, thus ensuring the roots do not sit in waterlogged conditions. While the plant is drought-resistant, maintaining average water needs will support its lush, verdant foliage and striking purple blooms in the late summer months. Ideal for creating texture in borders or as a ground cover, its evergreen leaves provide year-round interest.

How do I plant a Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker'?

For optimal growth, Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker' should be planted in well-drained soil within areas of partial shade to full shade. This evergreen perennial thrives when given adequate space to form its characteristic clumps. It is recommended to plant it during the cooler months of spring or autumn. When removing the plant from its pot, take care not to disturb the root system too much. Water the plant regularly to maintain average moisture levels, especially during dry spells, despite its drought-resistant properties. This will help establish a robust root network and promote vibrant foliage and flower production.

Pruning a Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker'

Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker' is a low-maintenance selection that requires no regular pruning. To keep the appearance tidy, one may remove brown or damaged leaves as needed. If desired, in early spring before new growth begins, trim back foliage to refresh the plant's appearance. This is also an opportune time to clear away any spent flower spikes from the previous season. However, such pruning is purely for aesthetic purposes and not necessary for the health of the plant.

Watering a Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker'

Due to its drought-resistant nature, Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker' requires a moderate approach to watering. It thrives with average water needs, ensuring the soil remains moist but well-drained. During periods of extended dryness, a thorough watering will sustain the plant's lush green foliage and support its vibrant purple blooms. Over-watering should be avoided to prevent root rot, particularly because this species is capable of withstanding drier conditions. Regular, careful monitoring of soil moisture levels will contribute to the robust health and ornamental appeal of this clump-forming evergreen.

Fertilising a Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker'

To achieve the full aesthetic potential of Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker', a consistent fertilizing schedule is recommended. Ideally, fertilization should occur in the early spring to kickstart growth and once again in mid-summer to support the vigorous flowering phase that occurs from August to October. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer is suitable for this species, providing a steady supply of nutrients to accommodate its average water needs and evergreen foliage.

Given its resilience and drought resistance, over-fertilization should be avoided to prevent unnecessary runoff and environmental impact. Applying the specified amount as directed by the fertilizer manufacturer will ensure the plant remains robust and maintains its lush green foliage throughout the seasons.
