Spiny-headed Mat-rush
Lomandra longifolia
A tough and architectural Australian native, Lomandra longifolia builds dense, fountain-like clumps of long strap leaves that hold their form and colour year-round under coastal exposure, dry urban conditions, and periodic flooding alike. Fragrant creamy-yellow flowers emerge along branching stems within the foliage in late spring, a quiet bonus on a plant valued above all for its unflinching reliability.
