Underground rhizomes ensure excellent cold survival. Breeze will survive in wet and cold areas in Australia, with some of the foliage browning off. In these areas the plant will perenialise.

As a rule, Breeze will require no irrigation to survive in many areas of Australia. It requires minimal irrigation in dry summer areas such as Perth.

Trim approximately once every 5 to 8 years. Please note that in colder areas yearly trimming may be required.
Make landscaping a 'Breeze"
Breeze is the perfect plant for landscaping, not only is it versatile and hardy, it will produce a mass of flowers making any landscape attractive. It is also relatively quick to establish for a Dianella.
No messy canes
Unlike the common variety of Dianella caerulea, Breeze has no messy straw brown canes that often fall over.
Right: Breeze shown on the left with no canes, but common form seen on the right has untidy, messy canes.
Common Dianella caerulea is a fantastic plant for commercial and residential landscaping. The only problem is, as it gets older it becomes untidy.
Breeze solves this problem by providing a 'no cane' variety, that does not have above ground canes. Breeze is the tidy, tough ground cover plant, that is 40% larger than Little Jess.
