Dividing liriope plants is fairly straightforward. When splitting liriope, growers will first need to dig up the plant and remove the root ball from the garden. Once the plant has been removed, carefully cut through the root ball using a sharp serrated knife or shovel for larger clumps.

How do you divide and replant monkey grass?
Space the divided monkey grass with at least 12 inches between the holes. Dig holes deep and wide enough to easily accommodate the roots. Place the separated clumps in the holes at the same depth as the initial clump and cover with dirt. Water the monkey grass right after planting.
Should Liriope be cut back each year?
Clipping back every two to three years generally is adequate, so if your liriope looks fine this year, you may leave it alone. For readers with other ground covers, Asian jasmine generally requires cutting back at least once a year.
When can you split monkey grass?
Timing it Right. Liriope can be divided every two to three years, with the ideal time of year being in early spring before the plant sends up new shoots. In climates with mild winters, liriope can be successfully divided any time from fall to early spring.
When can I divide and transplant Liriope?
Ideally, the process of dividing liriope should be done in early spring before new growth has resumed. Due to the hardy nature of this plant, however, it is possible to successfully divide this plant later in the season.
How do you maintain Liriope?
Liriope tolerates shady to sunny conditions, but flowers best in sun. First-summer Liriope requires regular watering, or it may wilt and droop. Once it has had a chance to establish, the plant will become quite tolerant of drought conditions. After several seasons, Liriope may become ragged-looking.
What is the best fertilizer for Liriope?
Liriope doesn't need a lot of fertilizer. A light application of 10-10-10 – around ¼ cup per plant – applied in the spring is sufficient, especially if you have fertile soil. In fact, too much fertilizer can make this plant more prone to disease and insect problems.
What time of year do you cut back liriope?
Liriope is a very sturdy plant. The best time to trim liriope is winter. Now is a good time, and any time up until about mid-March will work. As soon as the plant starts to grow, any trimming will cut the new tips and the plant will be disfigured for the rest of the year.
Will Liriope grow in shade?
Liriope is remarkably tough. It will grow in deep shade or full sun, sand or clay. It can endure heat, drought and salt spray, but will not take “wet feet”; it requires moist, well-drained soil.
How do you winterize Liriope?
Late winter and early spring are also good times to dig and divide lilyturf plants. To do so, simply dig the plant and divide using a sharp pair of garden shears or a shovel. Plant the divided clumps in the desired location by digging a hole at least twice as wide and deep as the plant's root ball.
Why are my Liriope not flowering?
Arid sites or poorly drained areas stress liriope plants and inhibit blooming. Moisture needs relate closely to sunlight. Sunnier, bloom-promoting areas require more moisture to keep liriopes performing at peak. Foliage may not suffer in low moisture, but blooming can be delayed or reduced.
Does Liriope dieback in winter?
They are almost semi-evergreen. They're not really an evergreen, but the foliage isn't harshly affected by a frost or a freeze. The foliage actually looks okay throughout most of the winter. Then come spring the old growth starts to die back and new growth emerges from the crown.
