Dianella tasmanica ‘Variegata’ is a clump-forming, evergreen perennial valued for its green, strap-like leaves edged in creamy white and small, pale blue to violet-blue, star-shaped flowers with yellow stamens. It produces inedible, steely-blue or royal-blue berries early summer too fall. Uses include borders, mass plantings, groundcover, as a specimen plant, and in containers. Excellent for seacoast landscapes and for dry-shade areas under trees. Grows best partial shade to full shade. In very cool coastal climates, it can tolerate full sun. It prefers rich, well-draining, moist soil but is highly adaptable and tolerates clay. Low to moderate water use. It requires regular watering for root establishment, but becomes fairly drought-resistant once established. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant. Cold-hardy to 25°F.
