Description
Lily Turf, Variegated is a stunning, low-maintenance perennial that adds a bold splash of color and texture to the landscape. Its elegant, arching leaves are edged in creamy yellow, creating a striking contrast against the deep green centers. In late summer, this refined ground cover is further enhanced by spikes of lovely lavender-purple flowers, adding fresh seasonal interest. Perfect for edging pathways, filling shaded borders, or softening the base of trees, this polished plant maintains a tidy appearance throughout the year. Its dense, clumping habit also makes it an excellent choice for erosion control on slopes and banks.
