⭐ Main features
☀️ Care in Perth
Position:
Plant in full sun to part shade. In Perth, some afternoon protection can be beneficial in very hot locations, particularly when newly planted.
Soil:
Liriope is adaptable but performs best in well-drained soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
Watering:
Water regularly during establishment. Once established, it is reasonably drought tolerant, but deep watering during Perth’s hot summer will maintain better foliage and flowering.
Pruning:
Remove old or damaged leaves when required. If the foliage becomes tired after winter, cut the plant back in late winter/early spring, before new growth begins.
🌱 Fertiliser
Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser in early spring. A light second application in late summer can help maintain healthy growth.
Avoid excessive fertiliser, particularly in very sandy soils where nutrients can leach quickly.
