Plant in full sun to light shade in most any well-draining soil and irrigate regularly to only occasionally once established. Trials have indicated that this plant tolerates high inland temperatures and winter temperatures to 20F. Can be planted near the beach as it also tolerates salt spray. This versatile and easy-to-care-for selection is great for a mass planting in the foreground of a border planting or as a small accent plant in the ground or a pot.

Dianella revoluta is widely distributed throughout the south of all of the Australia states except Northern Territories and grows in extremely variable conditions but mostly Eucalyptus forests. It is commonly known as blueberry lily, blue flax-lily, black anther flax-lily or spreading flax-lily. The genus is named after Diana, the Roman goddess, of hunting and Queen of the woods and the specific epithet is from the Latin word 'revolute' in reference to the in-rolled margins of the leaves.

The Baby Bliss selection comes from Australian plant breeder Todd Layt who selected it as a seedling selection of Dianella revoluta 'DR4000' in 1996 at Clarendon, New South Wales, Australia. Baby Bliss differed from its parent plant by having denser and shorter more glaucous foliage. The plant received US Plant Patent PP18,883 in June 2006and was introduced in the United States by VersaScapes of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina and is now marketed by Dig Plants, Inc.
