{"product_id":"wyeena-dianella-dianella-tasmanica","title":"Wyeena™ Dianella - Dianella tasmanica 'TAS300' PBR","description":"\u003cp\u003eWyeena Dianella (\u003cem\u003eDianella tasmanica\u003c\/em\u003e 'TAS300') is a large variegated flax lily with clean cream and green striped leaves, upright at the centre and arching at the edges, on a clump 800 to 900mm high and 800 to 900mm wide. Ozbreed selected it from the Tasmanian species, so it has far better cold and frost tolerance than the other variegated dianellas, which makes it the variegated strappy plant for cool and cold gardens. It is big enough to stand behind smaller grasses and shrubs and robust enough to out compete the weeds between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean variegation at size.\u003c\/strong\u003e The cream and green striping stays crisp and the leaves hold their shape, so a mass planting reads as a bright, even texture from a distance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVery good frost tolerance.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most variegated dianellas are warm climate plants; this one comes from the Tasmanian species and takes hard frost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRobust enough to smother weeds.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense clumps at 800 to 900mm shade the ground beneath them, which cuts weeding in a large bed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA background plant.\u003c\/strong\u003e Its height makes it the layer behind smaller lomandras, dwarf grasses and low shrubs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring flowers and berries.\u003c\/strong\u003e Small blue flowers in spring are followed by purple berries, the usual flax lily bonus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMass planting.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant 60cm apart in offset rows (two to five a square metre).
