Lomandra
longifolia ~ Mat Rush |
| Lomadra longifolia has
done well for me in some of the most difficult conditions. I have
grown it in full sun, dark shade, near swampy winters and baked summers
without irrigation. All Lomandra longifolia has done is produce
sweet smelling blooms. While the fragrant spikes on the flowers look
like they could do some real damage when you go to smell them they are not
very stiff. Plants can be expected to grow to 5 feet tall and wide,
the dwarf varieties 3-4 feet. Lomandra longifolia is a natural understory to
Eucalyptus. Two dwarf varieties of Lomandra that are available in
the marketplace are Gary's Dwarf, and Breeze (aka Tanika). Our
plants have shown no winter damage when temperatures dipped into the mid
teens.
