Dianella are such a useful native grass for all kinds of garden situations. This one combines usefulness and beauty as broad dark green leaves emerge in a cascade from dark red stems. It also has the distinctive blue flowers and ornamental berry fruits that you and the native birds will love. Good for cooler, shadier, and wetter spots than other Dianella species.
The images include one of the darker leaves of Cherry Red against the lighter leaves of Emerald Fountain for comparison.
We love Cherry Red for its glowing red stems, taller height, tolerance of wetter soils
