Care Tips for Lomandra Katrinus Deluxe NZ

One of the best features of Lomandra Katrinus Deluxe is its hardiness with minimal fuss. Once established, it requires little more than occasional watering during extended dry spells and benefits from a light trim every couple of years to refresh its lush appearance. Mulch in the first season for best results, and fertilise with a low-phosphorus, slow-release product in spring if needed.

If you love the easy-care style of Lomandra, you may also like Lomandra Nyalla or the hardy Liriope 'Evergreen Giant'. For more naturalised meadow or wetland effects, explore Schoenus pauciflorus (Bog Rush) or Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster'.
