Transplanting liriope
I have a ton of liriope that is not where I want it :-) Can I transplant it now? Given how hard it is to kill, I'm guessing it is hardy enough to survive, and I'd like to get it done in the next couple of weeks. Any ideas on the best way? It is very mature, has not been clipped back in years, and I'm looking for some vigorous growth once transplanted to soften a shady area of bare ground. I don't know much about liriope, any advice on soil prep for our are is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! |

Transplanting liriope
Dig and divide any time. Plant anywhere. No soil prep needed. You can even dig it and
leave the clumps laying around on the driveway for days (weeks?) and plant it when you get around to it!

Is this normal? We bought this house in June, so haven't been through the seasons before. A liriope border encircles our Japanese Maples in front of the dining room window - but lately they're almost totally dead looking. Should these be cut back to resprout? If so, when? If not, any ideas how we've been able to kill the unkillable? Thx, - Fred |

Transplanting liriope
I am pretty sure that you need to cut them back now.

Transplanting liriope
I agree. When I had liriope, I always cut it way back in Feb. All the way
down to about 1". New growth will emerge. So, I'd do it now, soon, before the new growth cycle begins. As for transplanting, you can dig it up, break it up with a shovel into much smaller parts (making sure to keep some of the roots with each part), and replant. You end up with a lot of plants, nice to share with friends. I got mine this way, from a friend who had way too much. Unfortunately, I can't remember what time of year we did this. Good luck!
