I think this is the plant I have. It was part of a "dish garden" I received as a gift. All of the other plants in the collection died except this one! I am growing it in its own pot in an east-facing window, and it is doing well. I did not know that Liriope was grown as a house plant, but it is attractive enough to enjoy up close as well as in the garden.
