Here is my Dianella (Dianella tasmanica ‘Varigata’) or Varigated Flax Lily. This is one of those ‘drugstore parking lot’ plants that are really tough. I bought it from ‘the death rack’ at a big box store for fifty cents. I had it in a terracotta pot for a couple of years and pulled it out in June. Put it out of the way and promptly the Dianella slipped my mind.
This plant has sat above ground like this all summer long in South Florida, it has also sent up buds. and looks like it will soon flower! It is in the shade, potless, but still in better shape than while in the pot. I am thinking it will be really happy to be planted and have the perfect spot.

Wow, that is amazing. You must get lots of summer rain, and of course, your humidity is legendary. 😉

Probably the legendary humidity..oddly, the leaves didn’t get fungus and they usually do.

I guess it is a really good plant.

Very common, but everything has its place. Hard to grow stuff in a drugstore parking lot.

It started to become a fad here, but never got more popular than the all too common New Zealand flax. I still am none to keen on it. There are certain contemporary landscapes that is suits splendidly.

I guess it is the summer combo of heat and humidity. Licorice Plant and Ice Plant melt here in the summer. It’s crazy.
