Finding The Best Ornamental Grasses And Perennials Groundcovers

By George Stevens


So many people are looking for exciting new colors and flowers that they can add to their garden or yard, but it can be hard to find the right plants for the job. Liriope is just one of the many popular ornamental grasses and perennials groundcovers that are out there. This particular genus of low-growing plant comes out of South and Southeast Asia, and beautiful flowers bloom on it every year, which is the reason why so many people are now choosing this particular genus.

The Greek god Narcissus who was known for falling in love with his own reflection and drowning because of it is well-known by many people today. What fewer people know is that his mother was called Liriope, and she was a beautiful nymph who was born of the spirits of the river. It is from this mythical figure that liriope grass gets its name from.

It is hard to find two people who say liriope the same way. Most botanical experts will be able to understand what type of plant is being referred to since there so many different pronunciations as well as different names. Some people call in monkey or spider grass, while others simply call it lilyturf. This is in spite of the fact that this plant is not related to grass or lilies.

As summer is turning into fall, the most beautiful flowers start to bloom on the liriope grass. These will usually be in some variety of blue and purple, but more and more color combinations are emerging all the time. This is thanks to the modern advancements in engineering the genes of these plants to produce the most vibrant colors, adding flash to any yard.

Anyone can stop by the nursery and see for themself what kinds of beautiful varieties there are available. It is nice to have an expert there in person whose advice can help guide your decision. It can also be very helpful to look up the different popular choices online since nowadays there are so many options.

Harsh weather often comes all year round for many areas of the world. This can make it extremely difficult to find the right kinds of plants to put outside, without having to worry that they will die in only a few months. A lot of money, time, and headache can be saved by making sure to pick an ornamental plant that will be able to thrive on the environmental conditions that it will be living in.

The appearance of these plants is what has led to many people referring to them as grass. Any botanical expert is quick to say that these types of plants are technically not a member of the grass family, although it is true that they have been given that name. Cat-tails, rushes, and sedges all look quite similar to grass but are technically not in the same genus.

The fall and winter can be a very hard time for a lot of plants, and that is why many people avoid trying out different species for their yard. There are some ornamentals that have a lifespan of one year, but most of them simply go dormant when it gets too cold. This is thanks to their ingenious method of storing energy before that time comes.
