Dianella spp., commonly known as flax lily, is a clumping perennial prized for its long, strap-like foliage and delicate blue flowers. Its attractive foliage provides year-round texture, while its drought tolerance and adaptability to sun or partial shade make it a low-maintenance choice for borders, groundcovers, containers, and mass plantings. UF/IFAS notes that flax lily is fast-growing, drought tolerant once established, and adaptable to a wide range of soils.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial shade
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and damaged foliage as needed; established plants can be cut back to the crown in late winter if foliage becomes unattractive
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring if needed
