Evergreen, herbaceous perennial

Year-round. Active growth in spring and summer with flowering in late summer and fall.

Full sun to partial shade (Prefers partial shade in hot climates).

Adaptable to clay, loam, or sand soils as long as they are moist but well-drained.

Best propagated by division; slow to grow from seeds.

Slightly acidic to neutral (5.5–7.0)

Average water needs. Drought-tolerant once matured but prefers consistent moisture levels.

Not necessary unless using a balanced fertilizer lightly during the growing season.

Clumping, arching, spreading via underground rhizomes

10–18 inches (25–45 cm)

12–24 inches (30–60 cm)

Pruning involves cutting back old foliage before new growth starts each spring using a sharp mower or pruning shears. This helps maintain appearance and promotes healthy new growth.

Non-toxic to humans and pets

Generally pest-free but can be affected by slugs and snails.

Root rot in poorly drained soil; occasional fungal leaf spots.

Lilyturf is often used as an alternative to turfgrass in shady areas because of its durability and low maintenance.

Highly adaptable, Lilyturf thrives in urban environments and can withstand foot traffic, making it a popular choice for landscaping.
