Description

Flax Lily Dianella is a versatile and attractive ornamental plant that is often used in garden and landscape design. The plant is prized for its narrow, strap-like foliage and beautiful blue or purple flowers, which bloom in the spring and summer. It is a low-maintenance plant that can thrive in various growing conditions, making it an excellent choice for novice and experienced gardeners.

One of the primary reasons to have Flax Lily Dianella in your garden is its aesthetic appeal. The plant's striking foliage and beautiful flowers can add color and texture to any landscape, making it an ideal choice for use as a ground cover, border plant, or accent in garden beds or containers.

Another benefit of Flax Lily Dianella is its adaptability to a range of growing conditions. This plant is native to Australia and can tolerate both dry and moist soil conditions. It is also tolerant of salt spray, making it a great choice for coastal gardens. In addition to its ornamental value, the plant's root system is also known to help stabilize soil and prevent erosion.

Care & Use

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations
