There are two major species liriope, Liriope muscari (musk-are-eye) and Liriope spicata (spy-kay-tuh or spi-kah-tuh).
These two evergreen lilyturf species have slightly different growth habits and degrees of hardiness, but both are favorite landscaping plants. Both plants form mounds of grass-like foliage. Usually the foliage is dark green, but in some varieties it is variegated. There are many cultivars available. They differ in leaf color, size and flower color.
Liriope muscari generally grows in a clump form and will spread to about 12 to 18 inches wide. Liriope spicata spreads rapidly by underground stems (rhizomes) and will cover a wide area. Because of its rapid spread, spicata is not suitable for an edging but is excellent for groundcover. For more information https://www.bloomindesigns.com/liriope/
