How to Grow and Care for Big Blue Liriope Plant
[plant_requirements]
Planting
It’s highly adaptable and versatile, but the Big Blue does need an area with moderately well-drained soil. It thrives in partial shade and can handle a bit of soggy soil.
Once you’ve found your location, dig a hole that’s about one to two times the width of your plant’s root ball. If you’re planting in a container, select one that is about one and a half times the width of your plant. After digging, place your plant, backfill your soil and water to settle the roots.
Watering
Depending on the rainfall in your area, your newly planted Big Blue may not need extra watering. After the plant is established, water once every week or once every two weeks. If you’re not sure when to water, simply check the surrounding soil about 2 to 3 inches down – if it’s dry, it’s time to water.
Fertilizing
Your Liriope shouldn’t need fertilizer, but if you want to speed up growth, apply an all-purpose fertilizer.
Pruning
The Liriope doesn’t require pruning, but you may prune back if you’d like it to grow as groundcover.
