Pure Blonde™ Liriope contrasts beautifully with Black Mondo in the shade. In the full sun, black Mondo is far more fussy than Pure Blonde™ Liriope. So how does it work?

Repeat the pruning each year to have a super contrasting plant for your garden.

Pure Blonde™ Liriope works in humid, hot, and even cold climates, and tolerates most soil types, but will look better in good soils.
