Happy, 100 liriope plants would be too many for me personally to trim each year, although some varieties need less maintainence to look good than others. Your grassy area with drainage probs sounds like a great spot for a "rain garden" application (plants that soak up excess water quickly and are usually native and don't mind wet feet at times) I have been impressed with Winterberry shrubs/trees for wettish applications and they are recommended plants for rain gardens, Check out the pic at the top of this link and see if it might work for you.
