Dianella caerulea 'Casitas Springs' (Paroo Lily) - An evergreen perennial from Australia. Dianella caerulea is a highly variable species and this gray form is a wonderful selection. Clumping plant of erect strap-like leaves to about 24 to 28 inches tall and clumping to 2 to 4 feet wide. A small evergreen, tufting perennial with narrow strap-like leaves, compressed into flat fans, forming spreading patches. Flowers and fruit appear over summer, the star-shaped flowers vary in color between light and dark blue followed by attractive translucent purple-cobalt fruit which releases an indigo stain when squeezed. Keep well watered and mulched. Hardy to 20-25° F and long-lived once established. Grows best in full sun and needs a well-drained soil. Perfect for use in rock gardens are as a specimen container plant and for an impressive display plant in masse. We received this plant initially from Jo O'Connell.
