This tough but showy evergreen groundcover has deep green, grass-like foliage arranged in slightly upright tufts. Spikes of purplish bell-shaped flowers resembling grape hyacinth appear in summer, followed by dark berry-like fruits. Great for edging pathways or as and a low border accent. Grows well underneath trees or between shrubs.
