Lomandra longifolia
Common name: Spiny-head mat-rush, Spiky-headed mat-rush or basket grass.
Lomandra longifolia is a perennial, rhizomatous herb that thrives in the varied soils of eastern Australia.
Its elegantly long and slender leaves, measuring 40-80 cm in length and 8-12 mm in width, are a testament to its resilience against frost, heat, and drought.
First discovered in Tasmania and praised for its striking appearance, this plant is a popular choice for luxurious landscaping in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Spain, and the United States.
Its versatile nature extends beyond its beauty, as it also offers edible parts such as its seeds that can be ground into flour and its flowers that have a delicate pea-like flavor.
The leaves are abundant in water and can even be chewed to prevent dehydration. In addition, the fibers from the leaves are used by Indigenous Australians to craft woven goods such as dilly bags and fishing nets.
Embodying the perfect combination of sophistication and practicality, Lomandra longifolia truly is a fantastic addition to any landscape.
