Care

Lomandra grow well in full sun to part shade. They do require a well drained soil and are adaptable with some species growing well beneath trees.

When planting, mulch around the base to help prevent weeds. Over time all species will form a clump that will out compete many weeds.

Fertilize with a low phosphorous slow release type in spring.

Landscaping Uses

Depending on variety, these grass like, or strap leafed plants  are useful for street plantings, as clumps in the general garden border as well as for container plants.

Lower growing cultivars are useful as edging plants.
