We found clumps of variegated liriope interspersed among the liriope lining one backyard bed, so we pulled it out and used it to line a smaller bed (it's much more effective when massed.) It's slower to spread than the "plain green" kind, but worth the effort and patience to grow.
Love this plant, and another combination is with purple wood sorrel (oxalis), a deep purple leaved shamrock looking plant with little pink flowers.
I planted four of these and only two came up this year, but I'm not sure if it was because my soil is heavy clay and perhaps I didn't put in enough mulch.

One of the major keys to success with perennials (this is also true of house plants) is to use plants that fit the environment you have in your yard.
There are a number of wonderful foliage plants which don't necessarily bloom which will lend body to the border and provide an excellent backdrop for the flowering plants.
Also, your foliage plants will continue to lend their good looks to the border while some of the colorful plants cease to be so attractive once their season of bloom has passed.
