Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Lilyturf Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Liliopsida Order: Liliales Family: Liliaceae Genus: Liriope Species: muscari, gigantea, exiliflora Binomial names Liriope muscari, Liriope gigantea, Liriope exiliflora Liriope, also known as lilyturf, is a broad group of low, grassy, flowering plants often used in landscapes, especially in the southeastern U.S (except southern Florida). Lilyturf is not a true grass, but is actually a complete genus of the lily family. It is very closely related to monkey grass (Ophiopogon japonicus and Ophiopogon planiscapus), and in fact many species of Ophiopogon also have synonymous names under Liriope. Giant lilyturf is known as both Liriope gigantea and Ophiopogon jaburan. This is a stub article. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. This article is from Wikipedia.
