Hello Tracey,

Here's some info from the MBG. It looks like it would do well in much of Michigan, but not in the zone4 areas. http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?taxonid=269719

Sorry, it looks as if you'll need to manually enter this name into their search engine: Liriope muscari 'Royal Purple'
