What kind of ground cover plant is dwarf lilyturf?

Dwarf lilyturf, ophiopogonjaponicus, is a plant of the genus Ophiopogon, native to eastern and southern Asia. The plant is 5-10 cm tall, with clustered, sessile, narrowly linear, dark green, leathery, arching leaves. In summer it bears small pale blue flowers in racemes. Dwarf lilyturf is evergreen all year round and highly shade-tolerant, suitable for border planting, pot culture, or embellishing rockery and rock walls, and it is also an elegant indoor plant. The greatest feature of dwarf lilyturf is its relatively low stature, and in gardens it can be arranged to form an ornamental lawn. Dwarf lilyturf is propagated by division, and division and seedling raising can be done throughout the year, but spring to summer and autumn are best; after planting, the survival rate is relatively high and growth is relatively rapid, while division when the winter temperature is too low is not conducive to the plant's recovery and growth. Dwarf lilyturf is extremely adaptable to soil, but sandy soil rich in organic matter or humus soil is best, and drainage must be good. In cultivation sites it can grow in full sun or partial sun, but with 50%-70% sunlight the leaf color is more attractive. For fertilization, organic fertilizer, oil cake, and compost are best, applied about once every 2 months. Among nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium chemical fertilizers, a slightly higher proportion of nitrogen fertilizer can promote more attractive leaf color. Dwarf lilyturf is robust by nature and does not need special management; it is drought-tolerant and fond of fertilizer, and when the plants grow too densely they should be divided in time, which is beneficial to the plant's growth.
