Dianella

(Flax Lily / Strappy Evergreen Plant)

Product Description

Dianella, commonly known as Flax Lily, is a tough, clumping, evergreen perennial with strappy, arching foliage and attractive purple-blue berries that appear in warmer months. Its neat, architectural form makes it ideal for borders, rockeries, mass plantings, and containers, and it is particularly valued for low-maintenance, drought-tolerant landscapes. Dianella provides texture and year-round greenery, with its berries adding seasonal colour and interest.
