liriope

[jennh]

Hi, All! About a month and a half ago I planted small liriope plants on either side of my driveway. I want them to grow together to form an accent bed. Anyway, I haven't mowed between them, because they are 18 in. apart, and I was afraid it would kill them. This past Sunday I spent quite a bit of time hand trimming between them with sheep shears (Thanks for the tip Paul James ). I have been thinking that I probably COULD mow over them and that would encourage root growth? Any opinions?

Thanks

I've never dealt with liriope, but I found a very informative page about it. I bet it answers all your questions!

You can mow them in fall to encourage growth and to get rid of old material.
