Also known as: Flax Lily, Blue Flax Lily, Blueberry Flax Lily

Dianella is a tough, versatile landscape plant known for its long, strappy green foliage and soft, grass-like texture. Native to Australia and the Pacific region, it works beautifully as a border plant, ground cover, mass planting, or landscape accent. During the warmer months, slender flower stalks rise above the foliage with small blue blooms, often followed by decorative blue-purple berries. Adaptable and low maintenance, Dianella is a great choice for adding movement, texture, and year-round greenery to sunny or partially shaded landscapes.
