Replanting liriope
-
Erica Glasener on Jan 30, 2012relatively easy. Just make sure each section you dig up to transplant has roots, replant and water it in. Check over the next few months to make sure it gets enough water (don't let it dry out excessively). Water once a week if we get no rain.Helpful Reply

360 Sod (Donna Dixson) on Jan 30, 2012Liriope is a pretty tough plant. You can divide it as you transplant if you want to extend or make the clumps you dig more uniform by gently tugging them apart, or you can use a shovel and whack them up into chunks, but as Erica stated make sure each transplant ends up with some roots :).Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Jan 31, 2012Getting a good bit of root is definitely the key. I divided some blue-eyed grass and a couple of the transplants failed because I didn't have enough roots with them, so I've got to little secondary patching.Helpful Reply

Garden Rebel / Sims Landscaping, Co. on Jan 31, 2012Oh, its so easy as they are so forgiving. In the spring you can cut them back and all new foliage will appear. Also, be sure not to plant too deep or they could get very sick.Helpful Reply

Ricardo B on Jan 31, 2012Fall-off-your-easy-chair easy. I've had some in a bucket from late August to just three weeks ago that I've ignored in my side yard. Separated them, planted them and they're showing me their happy dance!Helpful Reply
