Dianella tasmanica 'Yellow Stripe' (Flax lily) - This slowly-spreading plant is a yellow variegated form of the Tasman Flax Lily. It grows to 1 to 2 feet tall with long arching showy yellow striped leaves with the added benefit of small violet blue flowers in mid spring and attractive dark blue berries. Plant in a well-drained soil. Best in light shade or part sun but will take full coastal sun with regular irrigation. It is hardy to about 25 degrees F. This plant is not as strong a grower as the green or the white variegated Dianella tasmanica.
