at the base of the new leaves. Dianella Tas Red is a great plant for
the dry shade garden. The plants are drought tolerant enough that
they hang in there even if there is no supplemental water in our inland
valley location. Dianella Tas Red foliage grows 12-18" tall and
wide, the blue flowers and metallic blue fruits can stand up to a foot
above the foliage. Dianella Tas Red tends to burn in the full sun
and will flower even in dense shade plantings. Dianella Tas Red is easily hardy into the low
teens and likely below.
