Description

This North American Native is sometimes used as a substitute for Liriope in the landscape. On a green roof it will benefit from some protection in shade. This plant grows better in a wetter environment and will benefit from a deeper soil profile or mounded green roof media, as well as regular watering to help become established. Leaves become more blue towards the colder months and remain through much of the winter. This is a custom order plant. Please contact office for lead times.
