Dianella tasmanica, also known as the Tasman flax-lily or Tasmanian flax-lily, is a perennial herb found in southeastern Australia, including Tasmania. It has long, strappy leaves and can grow up to 1.5 meters tall. In spring and summer, it produces blue flowers followed by violet berries. While it is commonly seen in Australian gardens, its fruit is toxic. This plant was first described in 1858 by botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker and its name is derived from the Roman goddess Diana. It grows in shady spots in wet forests and can also be cultivated as an indoor plant. The fruits of Dianella tasmanica should not be eaten as they are toxic, but they have been used by Aboriginal peoples for basket dyeing.

Germination/Propagation Top
Suggest a correction or add new data!| Sow seeds at 20°C, expecting germination within 3 months without further temperature treatment. |
| Requires Soaking: These seeds need to be soaked in warm water until they swell, which can take 24-48 hours. Seeds that float are usually not viable and should be discarded, along with the soaking water. |
| soak in toilet tank 5-6 weeks; germinate at 20-25°C |
