Also known as Tasman flax lily or simply flax lily, is a sedge-like, rhizomatous, herbaceous perennial native to Tasmania and southeastern Australia. Its narrow, strap-like leaves can reach 3' long, and individual plants can reach 1.5-2' tall. They spread slowly by creeping rhizomes, and will fill a 3' area. The flowering stalks are held above the foliage and sport a panicle of small (1/2-3/4" in diameter) bluish flowers with prominent yellow stamens.
