Dianella revoluta, commonly known as Black-anther Flax Lily, is a hardy Australian native groundcover that adapts well to most garden soils and coastal conditions. Plant in a spot with partial shade to full sun and water regularly until established, after which it requires very little supplemental irrigation. It produces attractive blue-purple berries that draw birds and makes an excellent low-maintenance border or rockery plant.
