I am presently (mid Feb) cutting back, by hand I might add, a 60'+ long south facing bank of liriope spicata silver dragon. It was installed last May in pinestraw and now the pine straw is rather matted down. I am pulling a great deal of it away and off the bank as there are many little "heads" popping up thru the soil and desperately, I think, trying to reach the sun. This is labor intensive but it puts me in touch w/my plants. I have noticed that there are "rust spots" along some of the otherwise lovely variegated leaves. If anyone can tell me why this happens and what will prevent it in the future, I would be grateful.

This seems to take it all, cold, hot, wet drought. Wow and it still looks good. I noticed that the ones in the shade are not as varigated, though. I am not sure why it is called CREEPING lily turn, because mine has stayed in a nice clump for years. It is used a lot in landscaping around here, but it does give some nice fluffiness to borders.
