Dianella 'Blue Stream'

How to grow Dianella 'Blue Stream' in NZ

Dianella 'Blue Stream' grows well in full sun or partial shade and performs best in fertile, free draining soil. Plant into well prepared soil and water regularly while the roots establish. Once established, it is hardy and will tolerate periods of dry weather. A sunny position generally encourages the strongest foliage colour and compact growth. Apply a general garden fertiliser during spring to support healthy new growth. Good drainage is important, particularly during winter when soils can remain wet for extended periods.

Dianella 'Blue Stream' care tips

Dianella 'Blue Stream' is an easy care plant that requires little attention once established. Water during prolonged dry periods, particularly for younger plants, and apply fertiliser in spring to encourage fresh, healthy foliage. Remove old, damaged, or discoloured leaves as required to keep the clump looking tidy. It generally needs little pruning and naturally maintains an attractive upright form. Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the roots while keeping mulch clear of the crown.

Dianella 'Blue Stream' size, spacing, and growth rate

Dianella 'Blue Stream' typically grows to about 75 cm tall and 60 cm wide, forming a dense and upright clump of powder blue foliage. It has a moderate growth rate and develops steadily once established. For mass planting or ground coverage, space plants approximately 50 to 60 cm apart so the foliage can develop into a continuous display. Wider spacing can be used when individual plants are intended to stand out. Its manageable size makes it suitable for both residential gardens and larger landscape projects.
