Lomandra hystrix

This lomandra, known as 'Hystrix' for its spiny appearance, is a compact and fast-growing plant with longer and broader bright green foliage compared to other lomandra plants.

In spring, it produces eye-catching yellow flower spikes. It is ideal for low maintenance filler plants, erosion control on slopes, mass plantings, and weed suppression.

It is also suitable for native gardens, providing shelter and for use in revegetation projects. This hardy plant can tolerate drought and frost and can thrive in various soil conditions, even in wet areas. It can also be planted in large containers.

With minimal care required, the foliage can be refreshed by cutting back every few years. Applying fertilizer can help improve the foliage's color, producing a vibrant green hue. When fully matured, it can reach a height and width of 1m.
