The Big Blue Lily Turf is commonly known and grown for its pleasing foliage as it is dense with narrow, bowed dark green leaves as well as thickly clustered small purple flowers that show in late summer. Eventually, the blooms turn into black berries that last into winter. This plant is stout and solid, growing up to 18 in. tall and wide and is well suited for USDA zones 5 to 10. Favoring light, moderately fertile, acidic and moist, well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade, the Big Blue Lily Turf also endures full shade but will bear longer foliage and grow more slowly. These hardy plants have many attributes including a deer and rabbit tolerance, drought, heat and humidity resistance and they are essentially pest and disease free. Another popular attribute to this plant is that it performs well in dry shade. Big Blue Lily Turfs make excellent edging plants and are very useful in mass planting or when used in ground cover.
