Mine has not spread either. Not sure what is wrong.

I love mine and transplant it around my yard- great for edges. I must not have the spreading kind

Because of this, you need not worry about it growing back. Unfortunately.

Love that for you. Your experience isn’t universal and not everyone wants the same. Having said that, kudos to you!

Saying liriope is invasive is not an "experience;" it is fact. You can't argue about something being native, non-native but non-invasive, or invasive. There are scientific definitions of each based on zone and climate, and it really isn't up for debate by amateur gardeners.

Your sophomoric "Love that for you," which you felt the need to post in response to two different posts, shines a clear light on your maturity level and ability to learn something new.

Let's not grow tomatoes, oranges, etc in the U.S. then, following your logic. By the way I am experienced gardner. Yes liriope was not here during colonial times, tulips, daffodils, many cherry trees were not either. Guess we need to clear out the tidal basin? Or what industry and govt doesn't matter, only what individual consumers do? Regarding learning something new, meaning accepting what you say as gospel because you say it? No way.

I'm not the poster your responding to, but tomatoes, oranges, ornamental Cherry trees may be "exotic" but they don't spread the same way invasives like liriope or Japanese honeysuckle do. A few volunteer tomatoes are not taking over habitat, but other more invasive plants are. It's an important distinction.

The invasive/vegetable comparison was pretty funny tho

Because not all varieties spread, but natives-boosters will not tell you this.

Just stop. You’re not even using it correctly.

It has invaded our grass. Now we have liriope coming up all through the lawn.

No. You have your preferences I have mine. Nothing you can do about mine. What is your plan to stop me from planting anything?

DP: You are confusing non-native with invasive. General rule of thumb I follow:

Native, non-invasive -- great
Native, invasive -- choose your spot carefully, usually best for large, wild areas where they can spread freely, not small neighborhood lots.

Non-Native, non-invasive -- useful as specimen plantings, though as a general ecological practice it is recommended to keep at least 70% of your personal space native
Non-native, invasive -- actively harmful to the local habitat and eco system and should be avoided and removed if present.

DP: Why are you so aggressive about this? This forum is usually more civil and educational.

Mine has not even started new sprouts yet. I did cut back the dead leaves from the Winter. Is it dead?

+2 As is the "By the way I am experienced gardner." line! An experienced "liriope gardener", no doubt!

Funny only because it made it clear how little that poster understands about invasive plants vs. non-natives.

The comment about accepting accepting what is said as gospel was also ridiculous. Science is science, not opinion.

Not all liriope spreads. Regarding science, yes it is a fact that some plants are native and some are not. That doesn't mean it is a "science" that you say we can't plant non-native plants. That is your preferences. So I understand, regardless of what you say. So again, you do you, happy for you that you have the freedom to do what you want.
