Super Blue Liriope
Super Blue Liriope is a species of flowering plant that is often chosen due to its hardiness and reliability for the gardener. The Super Blue Liriope is an improved variety of the more common Big Blue Liriope. Super Blue grows a bit taller and can tolerate more direct sunlight.
Lush deep green foliage which has a cascading, clumping growing habit makes for a refined appearance. This small herbaceous perennial has grass-like evergreen foliage and lilac-purple flowers which produce single-seeded berries on a spike in the fall.

Berries
The berries are plant seeds that can be used for propagation, but they are not edible. Border grass has a rhizome root system that will cause the plant to spread quickly in the area it was planted, resulting in an increase in the number of berries.
Colors
Occasionally called lilyturf or monkey grass, liriope offers plenty of colors too. Then in the spring, the plant develops strap-like green or variegated leaves, followed by spikes of blue or white flowers in the summer. And for a fall finale, the faded flowers form pretty blue-black berries.
