| Botanical Name | Dianella caerulea |
| Description | A sophisticated perennial staple for Willis and Houston landscapes, our 3-gallon Flax Lily provides a full, established look immediately upon planting. It is prized for its architectural, strap-like foliage and unique turquoise ornamental berries that appear after the spring bloom. This variety is remarkably drought-tolerant once established and thrives in the Southeast Texas heat. 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 rain events. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade (Filtered light helps maintain the best deep-green foliage color) |
| 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 |
