Flowers
Cassa Blue® Dianella has beautiful foliage and great flowers. Its mass of baby blue flowers grow to about 55cm in height.
Stunning Foliage
This tough, drought and frost tolerant Dianella caerulea’s foliage grows to approximately 40cm tall with a spread of 40 cm. Its form is more of a clumping Dianella caerulea rather than spreading. Its stunning blue foliage, and highly desirable size and shape, make it the ideal plant for commercial landscapes, and home garden designs.
Versatile
Cassa Blue® Dianella will look great in mass planting for landscapes and the garden. It will provide great contrasting colours with its blue foliage. These photos show the many ways the Cassa Blue® plant can be used in the garden.
Tough & Brilliant Blue
A natural toughness makes this an ideal plant for mass planting. Cassa Blue® Dianella is slower growing, but once established is very tough. In some ways Cassa Blue® Dianella has the shape of a dwarf Phormium, but it is a lot tougher. Its blue colour provides great contrast in any garden or landscape design. See local specification sheets (above right) for more information.
