My striking variegated strappy foliage provides an architectural element and great contrast in mass plantings
My robust nature outcompetes weeds reducing garden maintenance
Hardy I tolerate frosts and consistently cold conditions
I enjoy good drainage but am happy in most soils with heavy soils best improved with organic matter
Don't plant me too deep, apply slow release fertiliser in spring & remove spent leaves to keep me looking great
With variegated upright to arching foliage I am a great background plant for smaller grasses and shrubs.
As a hardy cultivar of the native Dianella tasmanica I have great cold and frost tolerance in addition to my tolerance of dry and hot conditions.
I have purple flowers with distinctive yellow stamens which develop in spring and early summer and are followed by large bird attracting blue berries.
