Lomandra longifolia Empress is a tough and reliable ornamental grass with outstanding aesthetics. It features beautiful, fine-green foliage, held with a gentle arch. Small, yellow flowers are borne amidst the foliage in spring and combine nicely with the foliage. It grows as a tidy clump to about 40 cm tall and 70 cm wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. This is a hardy plant and is tolerant of drought, frost, cool climates, wind, coastal climates, and most soil conditions, except extreme wet. Lomandra longifolia Empress is commonly mass planted either as a groundcover or on a bank, included in borders, planted around outdoor living areas, or grown anywhere other plants don’t survive. It also looks amazing when maintained in a container.
