How to split and replant monkey grass?

Answer 1

Oh, it couldn't be easier. Just pull it up, pull it apart, and then just put it back in the ground. That easy. You don't have to hurry to replant what you've separated because Liriope (aka monkey grass) is very hardy and drought tolerant. Most of my garden beds are bordered with it and that is a lot considering I started out with only 5 plants two years ago. I took 5 plants and divided each into about 6 and planted them. I didn't know it would work but I thought I'd try. By the next spring my little 3 leaf sprigs became full sized bushes. Now when I divide I can get two or three full bushes out of one. I love this stuff.

Why did I get a thumbs down?

Answer 2

Splitting, or dividing, monkey grass is not only economical (you get several plants from one) but crucial to keep the monkey grass healthy. If monkey grass is not divided occasionally, it may experience overgrowth and become unattractive and tangled.

Simply dig up the grass and separate it by hand, then replant. Monkey grass is very resilient, often doesn't care if it's in shade or sun, and will tolerate dry conditions once established. I actually have monkey grass growing wild all over my property.

When I replant my monkey grass, I put a handful of rotted cow manuare in the planting hole.

Propogate by dividing large clumps. Include as many roots as possible and 8 to 10 leaves on each section for planting. Plants are easily established and do not require heavy feeding; use Vigoro® All Purpose Plant Food when necessary. Monkey grass stays attractive year round although leaves may become ragged by late winter. Shear shaggy leaves in early spring before new growth starts.
