Grows and flowers well in deep shade. Evergreen in zone 6.
Competes well with weeds. You can plant it and forget about it. After 1 full season I'm buying more.

This plant is great in our area! It receives mostly partial/filtered shade and has been stout through our summer heat! I have had it planted for 2 years now (planted it as a newbie gardener) and it is now sending out 'pups' that are easily dug up, shared, or replanted elsewhere!

Reliable plant, with spiky blue/purple blooms. I planted them at the base of a hillside in my backyard, up against the neighbor's fence. Nice effect, makes a tidy edge. On the hillside for contrast I have some Moonbeam Coreopsis (yellow flowers)--striking! In the fall, the liriope have small berries.
