Some Things To Know About Ornamental And Liriope Grass

By Nancy Mitchell


The popularity of liriope is largely due to the fantastic colors of their flowers and the beautiful nature of the plant, and that is why so many people pick this genus above all others. It is known for staying low to the ground, which fits the style of some yards perfectly, and has a very grasslike quality to it. One main difference between this type of plant that came from South Asia and Southeast Asia is that it flowers once a year, and that is why so many people are now planting ornamental and liriope grass.

The name of this genus of plants comes from Greek mythology, after a particular nymph from the central part of Greece according to legend. It is not specified in the ancient writings, but this nymph, or spirit of nature in the form of a beautiful woman, was born of one of the Gods of the river. This is the fairy who gave birth to Narcissus, a god who was so vain he fell in love with his own image. It is likely that the name of the plant came from its beautiful nature and possibly the climate it grows in.

It is not always easy to know the correct way to pronounce Liriope. Depending on the region, people say it differently, but most experts will be able to understand what you're talking about. Other common names are monkey grass, spider grass, and lilyturf, even though it is not related to the lily and is not in the same genus as grasses.

It is in the late summer that the flowers of these plants start to appear and open up. They are usually small in size and violet or blue in color, sometimes a combination of the two. There are also new varieties of these plants that have more flashy color patterns for situations in which there is a lot of shade passing over a yard or garden.

It is not hard to go online or to a local nursery for plants and find these types of grasses available. Their popularity has grown in recent years all over the world. This is because people are starting to realize just how practical and beautiful these plants are.

It can be very hard to keep plants alive in a garden or yard when the weather is just too cold to support most types of plant life. That is why people who live in these types of climates are very enticed when they hear that ornamentals are among the hardier of plants like this. They can survive the cold seasons and even in regions that stay cold all the time.

Not all of the plants that fall into this category are necessarily grasses. Some have been given this name simply because they are similar to most grasses. Sedges, rushes, and cat-tails are all examples of these.

Perennial plants are known as the ones that don't stay active year-round. Rather, they store up energy for a dormant period in the fall and winter so that they can come back to life again in the early spring. This is how most plants that are considered ornamentals work, with a few exception of ones that are annuals, meaning they live for a year and then complete their life cycle.
