Common names: Grape Lily, Dark Grape Lily, Blue Grape Lily, Lily Turf, Monkey Grass
Scientific name: Liriope muscari
Family: Asparagaceae
Plant history & use:
Beautiful and effective ground cover that forms edible nodules on the roots. These nodules are a highly valued medicinal delicacy in China. The grape lily blooms beautifully in upright spikes from summer well into autumn. The grass-like foliage is also evergreen.
Originates from China, Japan & Korea in shady forests at higher altitudes.
The edible nodules are usually candied and eaten as a kind of medicinal snack. They are also used in a Korean drink aimed at increasing physical endurance and as an expectorant.
During flowering time, the grape lily creates a striking color contrast in the garden.
Well suited for planting on steep slopes for erosion control.
Cultivation:
Thrives best in sun to partial shade. Also grows well in deep shade. Moist, nutrient-rich soils are preferred. The grape lily is, however, hardy to many different environmental conditions, so drier soils and heat are also tolerated.
Hardy down to about -15ºC.
Easy to care for. Spreads horizontally with short runners, but not aggressively.
Characteristics:
Longevity: Perennial
Light conditions: sun-partial shade-shade
Height: about 30 cm
