Would love to know name of this plant

9 years ago

I have 12 of these plants on my deck in containers. One died and I want to replace it. But I don't know the name of it. Can you help? It has variegated long leaves. Thanks.

if i was in this circumstance... i would simply divide the largest one ... w/o needing the actual name ...

of course.. after saying that.. someone will come along.. and say it the only plant in the universe .. that can not be propagated .. lol .. thats how my luck has been running lately ...

BTW .... if you bought it mass market .. then adds are.. its very easy to propagate .... as compared to paying $100 bucks each for it at some online garden of eden ... which would have been quite an investment for 12 of them ...

Might be Dianella tasmanica 'Variegata', might be a variegated Phormium such as 'Duet'. Sorry, it's a good clear photo but I can't quite tell.
