{"product_id":"dianella-king-alfred-1","title":"Dianella caerulea - KING ALFRED® - Blue Flax Lily 'John 316' PBR","description":"\u003cp\u003eDianella caerulea 'King Alfred®' is a compact, evergreen perennial native to Australia, particularly thriving in Western Australia. This cultivar is celebrated for its dense, blue-green foliage and its ability to handle both wet and dry conditions. In late spring to early summer (Birak), it produces delicate purple and yellow flowers on stems that can reach up to 1 metre in height, followed by attractive purple berries. 'King Alfred®' is well-suited for mass plantings, borders, or as a specimen in small areas, providing year-round colour and form. It prefers a sunny position in well-drained soil and is tolerant of dry periods and light frost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Perth's climate, Dianella caerulea 'King Alfred®' thrives in full sun to part shade and is adaptable to various soil types, including heavy clay or free-draining media. It is drought-tolerant and can withstand exposed and windy conditions, making it ideal for coastal gardens. Regular maintenance includes removing dead foliage to maintain a neat appearance and occasional fertilisation with a slow-release fertiliser. Additionally, cutting back the plant every 1–2 years encourages new growth and maintains its compact form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eDianella caerulea 'Sydney Ecotype' x hybrida\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eBlue Flax Lily\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eKing Alfred®\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eSmall Natives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePBR Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eJOHN316\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eWestern Australia -
