Liriope 'Evergreen Giant' is a tough, evergreen clumping plant with tall, glossy, deep green strappy leaves that stay lush all year round. Through summer and autumn it sends up spikes of pale purple flowers, followed by dark blue berries. It's one of the most dependable plants for shady spots and copes well with Canberra's frosts and dry spells, so it's an easy, low-fuss choice for borders and mass planting.
