How to Grow Dianellas - Eco Organic Garden

By A Mystery Man Writer

Dianellas, or flax lillies, are a range of reliable plants that are grown for their strappy leaves, pretty blue flowers and bright purple berries. There are over a dozen native species of these tough clumping plants which are perfect for mass plantings, native gardens or filling that difficult spot. There are many varieties of dianella available now with more compact growth and in varying heights and foliage colour (from light to dark green, grey and even striped). Look out for some of these varieties to jazz up your garden: Dianella caerulea ‘Breeze’ with light green compact foliage and lovely long-lasting blue and yellow flowers. Dianella ‘Clarity Blue’ is a new and improved variety that has stunning grey foliage for year round interest and can even cope with short periods of wet feet. Dianella tasmanica ‘Blaze’ produces purplish green foliage for most of the year which makes it a great contrast or feature plant.
