Liriope/grass Big Blue/variegated/mondo 4"

If you are looking for a border plant that actually plays nice with our heavy clay soil here in the Piedmont, you’ve found it. Liriope --better known around here as Monkey Grass -- is a staple of North Carolina landscapes.

We love recommending this for King and Winston-Salem gardens because it’s extremely durable. It handles our hot summers, doesn't mind a little shade under your trees, and adds color to edging and walkways. Whether you are trying to stop erosion on a bank or want a low-maintenance border for your flower beds, this Liriope is ready to go.

Why we love it at Mitchell’s:

• Deer Resistant: Essential for our fringe rural areas.

• Local Favorite: Thrives in USDA Zone 7.

• Versatile: Great for defining driveways or filling in around tree roots.

For specific plant advice, we recommend checking out the NC State Extension Gardener Plant Toolbox or asking one of our nursery experts when you arrive.
