How to grow Lomandra 'Crackerjack' in NZ

Grow Lomandra 'Crackerjack' in full sun or light shade with free draining soil. It is highly adaptable and performs well in borders, coastal gardens, dry areas, and sites exposed to wind. Prepare the planting area with compost, plant at the same depth as the nursery container, and water deeply after planting. Keep the soil lightly moist through the first growing season while roots establish. Once established, Lomandra 'Crackerjack' is drought tolerant and needs little additional watering. A sunny open position encourages dense healthy foliage, while good drainage helps maintain long term clump performance and fresh evergreen colour.

Lomandra 'Crackerjack' care tips

Lomandra 'Crackerjack' is very easy to care for once established. Water young plants during dry periods in their first year, then provide additional moisture only during prolonged drought. Apply a balanced slow release fertiliser in spring if plants need an extra boost. Remove old or damaged outer leaves as required, or lightly tidy foliage in late winter before fresh growth begins. Avoid cutting hard into the crown, as this can slow recovery. Lomandra 'Crackerjack' is hardy and resilient, making it a practical choice for low maintenance gardens, public spaces, and large landscape plantings.

Lomandra 'Crackerjack' size, spacing, and growth rate

Lomandra 'Crackerjack' typically grows about 60 cm to 70 cm tall and 60 cm to 70 cm wide, forming a substantial tidy clump of arching foliage.
