Known for their intricate, frilled petals and charming hues, dianthus are an ideal choice for gardeners looking to design a border that is both visually appealing and low maintenance. These perennials thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, making them superb for borders that receive plenty of daylight. Whether edging pathways, lining garden beds, or enclosing an outdoor space, a dianthus border offers enduring beauty throughout spring and summer, attracting pollinators and brightening your landscape.

Dianella tasmanica, commonly known as the Tasman Flax Lily, produces upright, strap-like leaves which are a rich, dark green and have a lush appearance. Flower stems rise above the foliage through spring to bear masses of delicate, blue flowers, which result in blue berries. It grows to 1 m tall and the same wide in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. Dianella tasmanica is commonly mass-planted either as a groundcover or on a bank, included in borders or mixed plantings, planted around the base of large trees, grown around water features such as streams and ponds, or featured in cottage gardens.
