I know this year has been slow with growth, but has anyone's liriope sprung up yet ( zone 7b and higher ). I see some small buds that are green but its been a bit slow. Around last year this time they were mainly leafed out.

It's been a long, cold spring. That's the explanation for the slow liriope.

I have some transplants in pots (6-8")...been sitting there for at least 4 years...hate to admit that!!! (Don't fuss at me....I'm a BAD plant Mom). They've come back every year without ANY maintenance and are still green now, but that's leftover from last year.

Will dig down and check if I see any new growth. And THANK YOU for reminding me to take care of these babies.....BAD MOMMY!!

Mine never did die back much over the winter, and they are all up and putting on new growth. Well, except for the newly planted black mondos that the deer pulled up. By the time I found those lying on the ground, and put them back, they might be dead. Not showing any green to speak of, anyway. Darn woods rats.I should have expected it, and stuck a few skewers around them. That worked before when they pulled up a whole bed of liriope that wasn't rooted in well..
