Dianella brevicaulis 'Coast Flax Lily'

Dianella brevicaulis commonly named Coast Flax Lily often grows near the coast and is tolerant of light salt spray. This species has narrower leaves than Dianella revoluta, and has pale blue flowers set in the base of the plant, followed by cobalt blue edible berries in summer.

POSITION: Grows best in full sun to part shade in well drained sand and clay soils. This plant is one of the hardiest dry gardening tufting plants and can be used in any landscape especially suited to coastal areas.

CARE: Coast Flax Lily requires very little maintenance, mulching around the base of the plant will help to conserve moisture.

USES: Coast Flax Lily is an excellent tufting plant suitable for areas where good visibility is necessary. The natural habit of this plant makes it an excellent choice for low level plantings in difficult dry areas.
