In spring and late summer appear the pale violet flowers on slender stems above the foliage that are followed by small green berries. This versatile and easy-to-care-for selection is great for a mass planting in the foreground of a border planting or as a small accent plant in the ground or a pot. Plant in full sun to light shade in most any well-draining soil and irrigate regularly to only occasionally once established. Trials have indicated that this plant tolerates high inland temperatures and winter temperatures to 20F. Can be planted near the beach as it also tolerates salt spray. This selection comes from Australian plant breeder Todd Layt who selected it as a seedling selection of Dianella revoluta 'DR4000' in 1996 at Clarendon, New South Wales, Australia. Baby Bliss differed from its parent plant by having denser and shorter more glaucous foliage. The plant was introduced in the United States by VersaScapes of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina and is has a US Plant Patent pending.  This description of this plant is based on our research and our observations of it growing at the nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens.
