Description
Dianella tasmanica 'Tas Red' is a compact, evergreen perennial native to Tasmania. This cultivar features narrow, arching green leaves with striking red bases, providing a vibrant contrast in gardens. It reaches a height and width of approximately 30–40 cm, making it perfect for mass plantings, borders, or as a standout accent in contemporary gardens. In late spring to early summer (Kambarang - Birak), delicate blue flowers emerge, followed by attractive purple berries, adding further visual interest.
'Tas Red' thrives in full sun and is well-suited for low-maintenance gardens, coastal areas, or container plantings. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and can withstand light frost.
