Growing Dianella 'Tasred' Successfully in NZ

Dianella 'Tasred' is well-suited to a wide range of New Zealand climates and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly during establishment. Once established, it tolerates drought and coastal exposure. Apply mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Trim back old foliage annually to refresh the plant. 'Tasred' is ideal for mass planting, borders, or adding colour and structure to low-maintenance garden designs.

Dianella 'Tasred' Care Tips

Plant Dianella 'Tasred' in full sun to full shade with free-draining soil. Water regularly during the first growing season, then only during extended dry periods. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and reduce weed competition. Remove old or damaged leaves in late winter or early spring to maintain a tidy appearance. Feed annually with a general-purpose fertiliser in spring.

Plant Size and Spacing

Dianella 'Tasred' grows to about 45 cm tall and 50 cm wide, forming a neat, clumping shape. For mass planting or borders, space plants 40 to 50 cm apart to allow for natural spread and airflow. This spacing ensures good coverage while maintaining the plant’s form and reducing maintenance.
