Default Liriope: sun or shade?

Does this do better in lots of shade, lots of sun or partial shade? To
fertilize or not-- if so, when?

Thanks


In lots of sun it blooms really well but needs much more watering or its
grass gets ugly. In partial shade it still blooms well and can almost go
without watering for the grass to thrive. In deep shade it hangs on but
blooms poorly. Depending on species, some liriopes, if they like their
location, will spread aggressively & displace more important plants in
their path, so it can be a good thing if they're slightly stressed & not
spreading too rapidly.
