Common Name: Liriope, Evergreen Giant Liriope, Evergreen Giant Lilyturf, Lilyturf, Liliy Turf, Lilyturf Grass, Lily Turf Grass, Evergreen Giant Lily Turf, Monkey Grass, Evergreen Giant Monkey Grass

Scientific Name: Liriope muscari ‘Evergreen Giant’

Evergreen Giant Liriope is a hardy, grass-like perennial featuring long, dark green foliage that grows in dense, upright clumps. Its larger mature size of up to 24", and deep clumping root system, makes it an excellent choice for adding height, texture and natural cover to spacious bioactive enclosures. Mature plants can also produce attractive flower spikes during their growing season. 

-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals:

• Almost any sized animal from temperate climates where a sturdy, grass-like plant is desired.
  

Bio Dude Substrates

• The Bio Dude's Terra Fauna (for slightly drier but still humid forest environments)

• The Bio Dude's Terra Firma (for temperate terrestrial environments with only occasional humidity spikes)

• The Bio Dude's Terra Sahara (for arid and desert environments with low humidity) *Though this grass can take high temperatures and low humidity, it needs consistent deep-root watering every few days if kept in an arid enclosure!*

Soil Depth:

• Moderate to deep with proper drainage. 

Lighting:

• Most light levels suitable (or full-spectrum LED/UVB terrarium lighting). This variety can tolerate partial shade but generally develops fuller, stronger growth when provided with brighter lighting.   
  

• Avoid placing directly under intense heat lamps — leaves can scorch easily.

Humidity & Misting:

• Prefers moderate humidity (40% – 60%), but can take lower under certain circumstances, and with periodic deep watering. 

• Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium:

• Ideal range: 70–80°F (21.1–26.7°C), but can take between 60 and 85 degrees.

• Avoid prolonged exposure below 60°F (15°C).

• Best used as a background plant or as a corner placement, where its clumping growth creates natural coverage while adding height and texture to an enclosure.

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested:

• Non-toxic if consumed, though excessive consumption of either the leaves or berries can cause mildly upset stomach or possible vomiting.

• However, these are typically used for ornamental, not edible, purposes, and reptiles and amphibians do not typically eat them.

Pot Size & Packaging: A single liriope is shipped in an approximately 6" nursery pot (possibly a 1 gal pot, depending on root size), wrapped in paper.
