dianella

Dianella is a very versatile shrubthat adds a grass-like look in front of foundation plants or borders. It also is an excellent plant to place around ligustrums or palms. It is a favorite among landscapers to fill in areas that need some visual interest but do not require much care. The plant produces tiny blue flowers on flexible stalks that should be cut back after the flowers are spent.
