Lomandra

Lomandra longifolia

Description

Meet this super tough and low-maintenance lomandra, with gorgeous dark green, narrow leaves that give it a beautiful, grass-like appearance. It's perfect for borders, mass plantings, or playgrounds, and its slightly fragrant flowers add a lovely touch to your landscape. To keep it looking its best, simply trim it back every few years if some of the foliage starts to go brown.
