Liriope muscari ‘Moneymaker’ – A Reliable Groundcover with Striking Purple Flowers
Liriope muscari ‘Moneymaker’ is a superb evergreen perennial that provides year-round structure and late-season colour. Forming neat clumps of arching, grass-like foliage, it thrives in shade and difficult spots where other plants may struggle. In late summer and autumn, it produces upright spikes of rich violet-purple flowers that rise above the leaves, adding vibrancy when much of the garden is beginning to fade. These are sometimes followed by glossy black berries, extending its seasonal interest.
Compact and low-maintenance, ‘Moneymaker’ is ideal for ground cover, edging paths, or underplanting trees and shrubs. Its robust nature, combined with its ability to thrive in shade, makes it a gardener’s favourite for reliable performance.
