Liriope spicata is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. It is native to Cambodia, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam. It is sometimes referred to by the common names creeping lilyturf, creeping liriope, lilyturf, and monkey grass. This low-growing, herbaceous perennial has grass-like evergreen foliage and is commonly used in landscaping in temperate climates as groundcover. Creeping lilyturf has white to lavender flowers which produce single-seeded berries on a spike in the fall. It is one of the most popular groundcovers in the southeastern United States and areas with a similar climate.
