%X The effects of different shading levels (shading levels were: control 0%, 20%, 50%,70~75%,80~85%,92.5%) on growth characteristics and biomass distribution of <em>Liriope spicata</em> (Thunb.) Lour. were investigated. The results showed that, as shading increasing, biomass increments first increased, then decreased. In 50% shading levels, <em>Liriope spicata</em> (Thunb.) Lour. gained the largest biomass increments. Shading significantly affected the biomass distribution, as shading increasing, leaf weight ratio increased, while root weight ratio and root/shoot decreased. Moreover, shading increased the water contents of <em>Liriope spicata</em> (Thunb.)Lour. and its spreading. Neither high irradiance nor high shading levels were of significant benefit to form inflorescences, buds and root tubers in this study. We suggested that <em>Liriope spicata</em> (Thunb.)Lour, as a shade tolerance plant, was able to acclimate to a large radiation scale; however, high irradiance or high shading did certain harm to its growth.
