Key Features of Dianella 'Sea Spray'

Dianella revoluta seaspray is admired for its slender, upright leaves and compact, clumping growth habit, usually reaching about 60cm high and 60cm wide. In late spring and summer, it produces delicate clusters of blue-mauve flowers, which are followed by small, decorative berries. Its tolerance for a wide range of soils, coastal conditions, drought, and light frost makes it a popular option for difficult planting spots and low-care garden designs.

How to Use Dianella revoluta seaspray in Your Garden

One of the best things about Dianella revoluta seaspray is its adaptability. Use it as a striking feature plant in contemporary gardens, or mass plant along pathways and borders for a bold, textured effect. It also works brilliantly in combination with other structural grasses and flaxes, such as Dianella 'Little Jess', Dianella 'Little Rev', and Dianella Blaze, which offer varied heights and leaf tones. Thanks to its neat form, it’s ideal for edging and can be paired with architectural species like Astelia 'Silver Shadow' or colourful options like Phormium 'Guardsman'.

Growing and Care Tips

Dianella revoluta seaspray is suited to full sun or partial shade and tolerates a range of soil types, as long as they’re well-drained. Water new plantings until established, then enjoy its impressive drought resistance. Occasional grooming to remove old foliage and a light feed in spring will reveal the best of its lush, blue-toned leaves. It’s generally pest and disease free, making it an easy-care choice for busy gardeners.

Companion Plants

For a cohesive look, consider combining Dianella revoluta seaspray with other Dianella varieties such as Dianella Goddess, Dianella Kentlyn, and Dianella 'Golden Chance'. If you want a softer or more compact effect, Dianella Baby Bliss provides a refined, silvery foliage contrast.
