Liriope muscari 'Monroe White' (commonly known as Monroe White Lilyturf) is a hardy, clump-forming evergreen perennial highly prized for its crisp contrast of pure white flower spikes against dense, deep green strappy foliage. Unlike standard Liriope muscari varieties which produce purple or lavender blossoms, 'Monroe White' provides an elegant, clean look that is perfect for white-themed, formal, contemporary, or Hampton-style garden designs. Because of its uniform, tidy habit and tough nature, 'Monroe White' is widely utilised across Australian landscaping for borders & edging; mass planting & ground cover (weed suppression); underplanting and in pots or troughs on patios to establish a structured, contemporary look.
