I am a new gardener and easy maintenance, no brainers are my favorites. LOL! Recently purchased over 2 dozen of the Variegated Giant Liriope to plant as a flower bed border, so far it has been maintenance free. They do well in full sun and partial.

I have several of these in my front yard and I use them as border plants with my Blue Liriope. They are "easier" plants in that they don't multiply as quickly as the Blue Liriope or "Monkey Grass," and they are also variegated and can get up to 18 inches tall.

If this is what I have, I've grown it (them) for years and they have served me well. What I have is a clump grassy perennial whose leaves never exceeds about 18" long. The variegation is distinct green and more white longitudinal striping, and it is a great accent in shade. They flower in summer, short cream white spikes from the crown that most poeple never notice.
The clumps can be a little difficult to divide but not impossible. They don't resent dividing or moving as long as it's reasonably prompt, and make great pot plants as well. They do better in rich moisture retentive but well drained sites, but will tolerate a range of abuses. My kind of plant. They show up in several of my photos, I'll see if I can get a good specimen shot of one.
