Monkey grass is different than lilyturf. The two below links will show
Liriope.


I often see labels here in SC say Monkey Grass aka Lily Turf. This
link to Daves Garden shows it as Liriope Muscari with the common names
of Lily Turf, Monkey Grass, Lilyturf and the synonym of Ophiopogon
muscari.

Common names mean nothing to me. The point is, neither of these are
suitable for the climate of the original poster and they are different
plants, altogether, but look alike. The labels are wrong and should
give the botanical name which makes the name universal.
