A strappy-leaved, grass-like perennial with a matting growth form. Delicate, mauve-coloured flowers with bright golden anthers. Plants form loose colonies, spreading by underground roots (rhizomes). Leaves (to 45cm long), have an almost waxy surface and are soft textured compared to other Dianella species from the region. The margins of the leaves have tiny bumps (tubercles) that are a distinctive feature aiding identification.
You can do your bit for conservation by growing this garden beauty. This is a critically endangered plant that is a beautiful addition to the garden. Native bees will visit to buzz-pollinate the flowers, releasing pollen from tubular anthers.
