Liriope muscari 'LIRTP' PVR

Liriope Amethyst Amethyst’s flowers sit high above the foliage, unlike most Liriope. The beautiful long lasting deep purple flowers are a real highlight.

Amethyst has an excellent foliage form, producing semi-compact dark green clumps. There are other Liriope available that also have good deep purple flowers, but their foliage is very flat compared to Amethyst, and their flowers are shorter.

Liriope Amethyst Amethyst grows well all over New Zealand, including northerly humid regions, and bitterly cold areas. In colder climates like Christchurch, it is a good idea to trim the foliage back each year in late winter, allowing the crisp new shoots to emerge with out the clutter of older leaves. On larger projects this may not be possible, but don’t worry, by spring or summer the new clean foliage will dominate the old foliage, giving the plant a refreshed look.
