Dianella Streetscape Plants Available from Downes Wholesale Nursery

Are you like me and think that the last thing the world needs is another Dianella! I always seem to think this when I am offered a new variety to grow as we see a lot of them. Well I was wrong on this one - we have been growing Dianella Streetscape from Sprint Horticulture for a while now and I am going to call it that this is the best Dianella I have ever seen!! Big call I know.

There are several reasons for this:

Foliage: I love the foliage on this plant it has a softer feel and appearance than other Dianella species and remains full to the ground.

Disease resistance and hardiness: Despite excessive heat, rain, humidity and dry during the period we have been growing it, I have never seen a sick one, you can see in the image across the bed they all look the same. Dianella Streetscape has been grown and tested from Townsville to Hobart and thrives everywhere in between.

Vigour: The hybrid vigour of Dianella Streetscape™ is demonstrated by its strong root system which according to observations, has grown roots at twice the speed of any other Dianella.

Uniformity: Dianella Streetscape has a very neat and uniform habit and remains full to the ground.

Dianella Streetscape™ will grow 50cm wide by 60cm high making it ideal for low mass plantings. Plant as borders next to pathways, driveways, in courtyards or wherever a low growing variety is required.

The DESIGN EDGE® series of grasses from Sprint Horticulture are well suited to landscape projects. Their ability to tolerate dry conditions and their heat and cold hardiness make them a reliable performer.

The Tough Solution:

The images show Dianella Streetscape™ interplanted with Gazania Dynamo™ in street-scape plantings by Shoalhaven City Council. You can see despite heavy traffic along the Pacific highway road pollution has had no negative effect on them.

Best growing conditions

Dianella hybrid Streetscape™ is the result of breeding a Cape York Dianella species with Dianella caerulea. The geographical tolerances of the parent species are inbuilt in Streetscape™ enabling it to cope with a wide range of temperature, humidity and soil types.
