JUST RIGHT™
Liriope muscari 'LIRJ' PPAF
Just Right is a much better alternative to the popular Liriope, Evergreen Giant. Just Right’s foliage burns less in the sun, or in frosts and its leaves simply feel stronger and more robust. Just Right’s leaves are also finer, making the clump look dense and compact. Just Right is a consistent height, which is very important for mass plantings.
Unfortunately, Evergreen Giant is no longer a stable variety. Nurseries everywhere have been growing it from seed for years, and it now comes in all different shapes and sizes. Even division-grown forms are now extremely variable. So if you ask for 100 Liriope Evergreen Giant, you may get 30 or so different forms. Just Right will always be exactly the same size, as it comes only from division, or Tissue Culture.
Just Right is not too Big, or too small. Some Evergreen Giant forms grow to 700 or 800 mm tall. Some other forms of Liriope are too small to compete with weeds. Just Right, is just the right size, at an average height of 18-20 in.
Just right remains more evergreen than any other Liriope in drought or cold, or wet, making it the best landscape gardening Liriope available. Just Right is also more tolerant of Phytophthora than Evergreen Giant. Just Right has so far over 6 years never produced a viable seed, so it can not come up in the bush on its own, where as Evergreen Giant seeds a lot.
