Variegated Tasman Flax Lily
Dianella tasmanica ‘Variegata’
Variegated Tasman Flax Lily is a striking perennial prized for its elegant, striped foliage that brightens shady areas. Its long, arching leaves are a soft green with crisp, creamy-white longitudinal stripes along the margins. In spring, delicate stems rise above the foliage, bearing small, pale blue flowers followed by attractive purple berries. More shade-tolerant than many variegated plants, it forms a neat, spreading clump that provides year-round color and texture with minimal care.
