Lomandra longifolia (Mat Rush)

Lomandra longifolia is a tough, versatile native plant valued for its dense, strappy foliage and ability to thrive in a wide range of conditions. Its tidy, clumping habit makes it ideal for borders, mass planting, erosion control, and low-maintenance landscapes.

This hardy perennial produces scented cream to yellow flowers in winter and spring, attracting beneficial insects. Drought tolerant once established and adaptable to both sandy and clay soils, it is a reliable choice for coastal gardens, containers, and even indoor settings.
