It is also tolerant of urban pollution and compacted soils which makes it especially useful for city gardens and roadside plantings. Gardeners often use it as a low-maintenance ground cover to control erosion on slopes or to create lush green carpets under trees where grass struggles to grow. Its dense clumping habit helps suppress weeds and its evergreen foliage ensures year-round color and texture in the garden.

In landscaping lily turf is highly valued for its ability to combine functionality with beauty.

Some popular cultivars such as Liriope muscari ‘Big Blue’ and Liriope spicata are widely grown for their larger flower spikes or creeping habits that spread more aggressively. Beyond its ornamental uses lily turf also symbolizes endurance and resilience because of its ability to thrive in challenging conditions with minimal care. Whether used as a border accent erosion control solution or ground cover lily turf remains a reliable and attractive plant that enhances gardens and landscapes with both structure and seasonal beauty.
