Blue flax-lily
Dianella caerulea
Blue flax-lily is a tough, clumping groundcover that performs well in partial shade and tolerates a range of soil types. Its strap-like foliage provides year-round texture, and small star-shaped flowers give way to striking metallic-blue berries that attract birds. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as the plant becomes more self-sufficient.
