Dianella Silverado 180MM

Dianella tasmanica 'Silverado'

I am Dianella Silverado. My family originated from eastern Australia.

Habit Strappy - Ideal for mass planting
Plant family Asphodelaceae
I am a native clump forming plant with distinctive broad strappy silvery green and white foliage. I produce dainty star shaped blue flowers in branching sprays that appear from spring to early summer. Hardy and tolerant of a range of soils and conditions I am happiest in a sunny position in free draining soil. I work particularly well mass planted and am great for high traffic areas, rockeries and make a useful accent plant in general landscaping.
Caution: Harmful if eaten
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My silvery strappy foliage and tidy clumping habit add structure and elegance to the garden
I bloom with delicate deep blue star-shaped flowers which sit high above my foliage through spring into summer
I am just as happy in large pots and containers as I am planted out in the garden
Features
Ideal light: Full Sun to Part ShadeI will thrive in full sun to semi shade
Height: 0.5m Width: 0.5m(Size at point of sale approx. 45cm including pot)
Water needs: Low (once established)I need little water and am very drought tolerant once establish
I am happy growing in most soils and cope with occasional waterlogged and am tolerant of dry conditions
Frost tolerance: High
