What it's like
Lomandra is the plant landscapers reach for when a site is difficult. Deep green strappy foliage in a dense clump, scented cream flower spikes in spring, and root systems strong enough to hold a batter or a creek bank together. It'll grow in full sun or deep shade, which almost nothing else will.
Getting it established
Genuinely low maintenance. A tidy-up trim every few years is all it asks.
Potted stock travels upright in a purpose-built carton with the rootball wrapped. Bare-root trees are lifted the week they ship, roots packed in damp shavings. Either way, get it in the ground within a week of arrival.
You've got twelve months. If it was planted the way we suggested and it hasn't come away, send us a photo and we'll replace it on the next run.
Ten or more of one line gets trade pricing without an account. Tell us the site and we'll check the spacing with you before you order.
