I've surfed the web to find information on this grassy ground cover so I have lots of information but what I can't find is where to get it. I'd like to use it as a boarder around my trees and from what I've learned, the plant will do okay in my area but I need some guidance. Could you send me some information on where I can purchase these plants. I've searched and searched and struck out.
The groundcover that you are interested in, Liriope muscari 'Big Blue', is the most common variety of Liriope (at least here down south). It should be available in the nurseries in your area. Even the mass merchandisers down here carry it in their garden center section. If you cannot find it in a local nursery, these two Web sites have it for sale:
www.willowpondnursery.com...
www.sherwoods-forest.com...
And these are the wholesale growers who have the plants. While they do not sell retail, perhaps some of the more northern ones could tell you who they sell to that is in or close to Pittsburgh.
