I plant the Flax Lily
for the unusual blue seed pods more than for any other reason.
Dianella is hardy, it can handle drought conditions it spreads at a
reasonable rate by runners and grows to 18"in height. Dianella
tasmanica is hardy to 20
degrees or lower. The fruit is not edible and can cause digestive
discomfort. Dianella tasmanica will survive even when the garden
gets no care. In a few gardens that I have restored I have found
Dianella tasmanica still growing amongst the weeds. But mostly the reason to have this Dianella tasmanica is those metallic looking blue
seed pods. The fruit do look like something that came from another
planet.
