Description:
Blue Stream™ (Dianella hybrid) offers gardens a beautiful swathe of colour in dense clumps of broad, light blue foliage. This vigorous variety produces many side shoots that emerge from the ground around the plant base. In late spring many royal blue berries provide a spectacular display just above the foliage. Consider using Blue Stream to create a natural garden border or to plant among low growing flowering plants. As a mid-sized Dianella, Blue Stream offers an interesting colour option to the typical green landscape and to smaller courtyard gardens. Grows approx 70cm H x 50cm W.
