Dianella tasmanica 'Variegata' is a shade-loving plant that offers a bright splash in a potentially dark spot, as well as pattern interest with its varigated leaves. Like its straight species, it also produces blue star-shaped flowers followed by blue berries.
Monrovia suggests that it can be paired with broad-leafed and bronze-colored shade-loving plants, which sounded so lovely that I'd like to offer an alternative palette. Plants include A) Farfugium japonicum 'Gigantea', B) Dianella tasmanica 'Variegata', and C) Heuchera villosa 'Bronze Wave'. What a sophisticated combination!
Dianella tasmanica 'Variegata' is part of a plant palette called 'Parade of Shade.' Click on label/tag to see complete palette.
