This New Zealand Lily is noted for its overpowering variegation, perhaps the most productive of of any varigated form. It will stand bright light if watered often and the leaves do not burn and discolor in the sun like most striped leaves.
Blueberry Flax Lily- (Dianella tasmanica 'Variegata') - Noted for the stalks of blueberries that form on tall stalks after blooming, this plant stands out in the landscape or in ornamental planters mostly because of the wide white stripes with parallel the length of the long leaves that arch over gracefully. The plant is an evergreen perennial that prefers some shade. This outstanding lily spreads by rhizomes and grows 4 feet tall. Zones 8-10
To be on the safe side, plant in open shade or filtered sunlight. Full sun in NZ is NOT as hot as Florida full sun.
