Dianella 'Clarity Blue'
Clarity Blue Dianella
Description
This dwarf looking, reliable perennial reaches 1' tall and 6" wide. Leaves are florescent blue green, 1" wide, slightly stiff. Pale blue flowers emerge from the center in spring, followed by dark blue berries. It forms clumps and slowly spreads. This plant tolerates full to part sun, ocean spray, well draining, fertile, acidic soil. It is wind tolerant also. This plant looks great in rock gardens and borders. Dianella are the ultimate easy care plants. This tough new hybrid gets strong upright Phormium-like growth from one parent and deep blue color from the other. Plays well with succulents and makes a great container plant. Established plants need occasional water.

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.
Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
