| Botanical Name | Dianella caerulea |
| Description | A sophisticated perennial for Willis and Houston landscapes, the Flax Lily is prized for its architectural, strap-like foliage and year-round interest. These 1-gallon plants produce delicate blue flowers in spring, followed by unique, ornamental turquoise berries. It is remarkably drought-tolerant once established and handles the Texas heat with ease. To ensure success in local clay, plant in a raised bed or well-drained area; while it loves the Houston humidity, it requires "dry feet" to prevent root rot during our heavy Southeast Texas rain events. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade (Best foliage color is often achieved in filtered sun) |
| Height x Width | 1-2 ft. Tall x 1-2 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low to Moderate; once established, it is very drought-hardy. Requires sharp drainage to survive wet periods in the Houston metro area. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 (A reliable evergreen perennial for Southeast Texas) |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy leaf growth and berry production. |
| Pruning | Minimal maintenance needed. Simply remove any old or tattered leaves at the base in late winter to keep the plant looking fresh and tidy. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
