How do you get variegated Liriope to bloom?
Where traditional turf fails, liriopes can flourish. Foliage does well under shaded conditions, but blooms and fruit are diminished without sufficient sun. To get blooms from shade-planted liriopes, open up the shade to let in fuller sun, or move your liriopes to a sunny area.
