A great form of Dianella for landscaping, with attractive variegated green and white foliage that has an attractive red tinge as the new leaves are forming. As the leaves mature lime and yellow vertical streaks intensify along the leaf. Tough,low maintenance plant for borders, pots or as an accent plant, it does well under trees and in shade. Frost and drought tolerant, and good for coastal gardens.
