Features of Lomandra Seaspray

Lomandra Seaspray is prized for its arching, slender leaves, which gently cascade to form a dense, clumping mound. Growing to about 60 cm high and wide, it adds a soft, flowing effect that complements both native and ornamental planting schemes. The foliage maintains its colour year-round, helping you achieve that lush, evergreen look even during tough New Zealand summers or colder months. In spring and early summer, subtle creamy flower spikes add further visual interest.

Uses for Lomandra Seaspray in the Garden

Lomandra Seaspray is highly adaptable, thriving in full sun to part shade and tolerating wind, salt spray, and periods of dryness. Its robust root system makes it excellent for slopes, erosion control, and stabilising banks. Use it as a handsome border, in mass plantings for a drift of silvery texture, or as an elegant feature in modern and coastal gardens. It pairs beautifully with other architectural grasses like Lomandra 'Tanika', Lomandra Lime Tuff, and Lomandra Frosty Tops, as well as sedges like Lepidosperma australe (Southern Sword Sedge) and Carex glauca.

Planting and Care Tips

Plant Lomandra Seaspray in well-drained soil for best performance. Space plants about 50 cm apart for effective coverage or a denser hedge. While Lomandra Seaspray is drought tolerant once established, giving it some extra water during long dry spells will keep the foliage at its best. Remove old or damaged leaves in late winter to rejuvenate your plants, and apply a slow-release, low-phosphorus fertiliser if the soil is poor.

Companion Plants for Lomandra Seaspray

To create a cohesive, low-maintenance planting scheme with year-round appeal, consider combining Lomandra Seaspray with complementary varieties. For additional foliage contrast, add Lomandra White Sands or the bolder Lomandra Nyalla. For groundcovers and edging, Ophiopogon japonicus Nana and Liriope 'Monroe White' make excellent choices. The russet tones of Uncinia uncinata also combine beautifully with Lomandra Seaspray’s silver-blue leaves.
