Dianella caerulea ‘DC101’ – Lucia™  

Lucia is the best performing Dianella cultivars currently on the market. It has vigorous though non-invasive spreading rhizomes, which give it the ability to fill in gaps and repair itself from damage. Lucia is a great in-fill plant for under trees and shrubs as it forms a dense ground cover with a mat of foliage that carpets the ground.

Uses: Commercial and domestic applications. Makes a great border plant along the edge of paths and driveways and can be used in road medians.

 

Dimensions: Height: 300-400mm |  Width: 500mm -600mm

Flowering: Spring & Summer, with unique mulberry coloured flower buds, most Dianella have blue flowers, opening to a star shaped flower with a bluish-purple tinge. Flowers are held high above the foliage and are followed by purple berries.

 

Aspect: Full sun and up to 60% shade. In coastal aspects it is best in a protected area. It grows well in inland climates and will handle cold to –7ºC and light frost, with some frost burning to the foliage that will re-fresh in spring.
