The Benefits Of 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.

Liriope's pronunciation varies from region to region, and there are also numerous different names for the plant that people use. One of the ironic names it has been given is lilyturf since this plant is not part of the genus that actual grasses are, and it is also technically not a lily. People also call this type of plant monkey grass or spider grass.

People who have these plants can expect them to flower around the end of summertime. This is an excellent thing to look forward to as the sweltering hot months come to a close and the chill of autumn starts to creep in. The colors of the flowers are often blue and violet, but there are many more varieties that have been engineered now with the flashiest golds and silvers imaginable.

There are plenty of people who are choosing to go with some of the many exciting and beautiful types of ornamentals that are available. These are getting easier and easier to find because they have grown immensely in popularity for people's gardens are lawns in recent years. These plants are considered any kinds of grasses that are used for decorative purposes.

People who live in areas that have a harsh climate for most plants due to the low temperatures sometimes have a hard time finding something to liven up their yard or garden with. More and more people in these areas are turning to ornamentals. This is because they are able to survive and sometimes even thrive in these kinds of conditions.

Although these plant are called grasses, this is not always technically what they are. Because of the way that they look, this is how a lot of these plants are defined. However, things like rushes, sedges, and cat-tails are not technically in the same genus as grasses are.

Most plants in this category are perennial. This means that they are dormant in the fall and winter. There are also a few that are annuals, meaning the plant's life cycle is completed in a year.
