Lomandra longifolia

Lomandra longifolia (Spiny-head Mat-rush / Basket Grass)

This is the ultimate "bulletproof" landscape plant. Native to Australia, this iconic, ultra-tough evergreen perennial forms dense, sculptural tussocks of glossy green, strap-like foliage. Renowned for its exceptional resilience, it is highly sought after by landscape designers and home gardeners alike for its ability to thrive where other plants struggle. In late spring and summer, it produces striking, spiny flower spikes laden with heavily scented, cream-to-yellow clusters that release a sweet, honey-like fragrance.
