Lomandra 'Little Cricket'

How to grow Lomandra 'Little Cricket' in NZ

Grow Lomandra 'Little Cricket' 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, set plants at the same depth as the nursery container, and water deeply after planting. Keep the soil lightly moist through the first growing season so roots establish strongly. Once established, Lomandra 'Little Cricket' is drought tolerant and needs little additional watering. A sunny position encourages compact growth and healthy foliage, while good drainage helps maintain a long lived clump.

Lomandra 'Little Cricket' care tips

Lomandra 'Little Cricket' is very easy to care for once established. Water young plants during dry periods through the 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 tired outer leaves or lightly tidy the clump in late winter to keep the foliage fresh and neat. Avoid cutting the plant hard into the crown, as this can slow recovery. Lomandra 'Little Cricket' is hardy and resilient, making it a practical plant for low maintenance gardens, public style landscapes, and busy outdoor spaces.

Lomandra 'Little Cricket' size, spacing, and growth rate

Lomandra 'Little Cricket' typically grows about 40 cm to 50 cm tall and 40 cm to 50 cm wide, forming a dense compact clump. Space plants approximately 40 cm to 50 cm apart for a continuous border edge, mass planting, or low maintenance groundcover effect. It has a moderate growth rate, becoming fuller each season as the clump establishes. Closer spacing gives a neat result sooner, while wider spacing suits larger planting areas where plants can develop naturally. Lomandra 'Little Cricket' is an excellent compact grass for small gardens, pathways, and structured landscape designs.
