Do You Dig Our Dianellas?
Dianellas – our native flax lilies – are an excellent addition to all kinds of gardens, from native bush paddocks to schmick urban back yards. Large-size native flax lily plants are ideal for container planting, or as a feature plant in a border, especially the more ornamental forms with striped or coloured leaves. Because flax lily plants are compact, they also make excellent edging for borders, driveways, paths and lawns, where they will need very little care and maintenance.
