Care Notes

Liriope muscari 'Moneymaker' is a low-maintenance plant. Water regularly during its first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, it becomes more drought tolerant. In late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges, trim back any old or damaged foliage close to the ground. Alternatively, you can comb through the plant to remove spent leaves. Apply a general-purpose fertiliser in spring to encourage healthy growth and flowering. Divide overcrowded clumps every few years during spring to maintain vigour.
