  • Plant in patio pots or mixed borders
  • Frost, heat, drought and floodproof

Description

  • The first variegated Lomandra, White Sands grows in upright tufs of grey-green and white foliage, adding structural interest to any landscape. This striking variegated evergreen looks like a grass but is actually a member of the asparagus family!
  • A superstar collaboration between New Zealand breeder Malcolm Woolmore of Australian Robert Harrison, who took on the challenge to create the perfect garden plant from an outback native species - this is one tough plant!
  • A drought tolerant, heatproof, floodproof and frost hardy plant which grows up to 75cm high and 50cm wide
  • Plant in patio pots or mixed borders - Lomandra looks great contrasted with purple and blue flowers such as salvia and campanula
  • Grows fast and needs very little maintenance
  • If you're ever stranded and thirsty in the outback/doing the gardening on a hot day, this plant stores water in its roots, so the leaves were traditionally chewed to prevent dehydration

How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Generally pest and disease free

Water regularly when new

Water regularly for the first year - after this, water only in hot dry weather

Full sun to partial shade

You'll get the best colour in full sun

Any fertile, well-drained soil

Lomandra prefers fertile, well-drained soil but will be fine in any normal well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly poor or clay heavy, add some garden compost with perlite to improve drainage.

Feed annually

Apply a generous 5-7cm mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring.
