In Ovid's tale, Narcissus is the handsome and proud son of the river god Cephissus and the nymph Liriope. The nymph, Echo, falls in love with him but is rejected and withdraws into a lonely spot and fades away, leaving behind her voice. The goddess Nemesis hears her prayers for vengeance and makes Narcissus fall in love with his own reflection, which he cannot embrace. He sits by the pool, watching it until he dies and turns into the narcissus flower.
To properly plant liriope for successful growth, choose a location with well-drained soil and partial to full sunlight. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant the liriope at the same depth as it was in the container. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch around the base to retain moisture. Regularly water and fertilize the liriope to promote healthy growth.
