Dianella caerulea
'Cassa Blue'
'DBB03'
Tough and Brilliant
Blue
A natural toughness makes this an ideal plant for mass planting. Cassa Blue is slower growing, but once established is very tough. In some ways Cassa Blue 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.
Versatile
Cassa Blue 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 Cassa Blue can be used in the garden.
Conditions
Prefers free draining soils or mounded (raised) sites if the soil is a clay type. Cassa Blue has good cold tolerance, and it remains evergreen with a blue colour. Once per year remove any older leaves. This can generally be done very quickly.
Description:
Compact rich blue foliage with a far superior display compared to most Dianellas.
Position:
Tolerates a wide range of soils and climatic conditions. Suited to full sun as well as partially shaded positions. Hardy with excellent cold, heat, frost and drought tolerance.
Uses:
Colour contrasting plant. Mass planting, accent plant, foliage or grassy gardens. Low water requirement gardens.
Care:
Trim older leaves annually as required to maintain a neat appearance. Plant in a well mulched garden. Apply a slow release fertiliser once per year in Spring.
Stunning Foliage
This tough, drought and frost tolerant Dianella caerulea 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.
