Dianella caerulea (DCNC0) BREEZE®

Common Name:
Paroo Lily 'Breeze'®

Description:
Dianella caerulea (DCNC0) Breeze® is a tough, fast-establishing Australian native grass-like plant bred for its strong performance, evergreen foliage, and resilience in varied conditions. Known for its fine, upright green leaves and low-maintenance nature, Breeze® forms dense, clumping mounds that provide soft structure and year-round greenery. In spring and summer, it produces sprays of delicate blue flowers with yellow centres, followed by deep blue berries that add seasonal interest and attract birds. Ideal for mass plantings, borders, verges, erosion control, and commercial landscaping, Breeze® thrives in Melbourne’s full sun to part shade environments and handles drought, frost, and coastal exposure with ease. It is well suited to both formal and naturalistic designs, offering a uniform, tidy habit with minimal care required. Once established, it requires very little water and no trimming, making it a favourite for high-traffic or low-maintenance areas.
