Uses for Small Lomandra in the Garden

Small lomandra is a true multi-tasker for New Zealand gardens. Its compact size fits neatly between paving stones, along footpaths, or as a low hedge beside driveways. It’s equally at home in container gardens and roof terraces, where space is limited but style matters. Use small lomandra for mass plantings to create a lush, low-maintenance groundcover or as accent plants for a modern, structured look. Thanks to their adaptability, these grasses thrive in both sunny and shaded positions, making them excellent for filling tricky corners or adding greenery under trees.

Care Tips for Small Lomandra

Small lomandra is wonderfully easy to care for. Plant in well-drained soil, water regularly until established, and trim back old foliage as needed to encourage fresh growth. Once mature, most small lomandra varieties require little maintenance and rarely need fertilising. They resist most pests and diseases, meaning you enjoy lush growth with minimal fuss.
