Lomandra multiflora is a tough Australian native grass-like perennial that forms attractive clumps of arching green foliage and is highly adaptable to a range of soil types and light conditions. Once established it is remarkably drought tolerant and requires little maintenance, making it ideal for low-care garden beds, erosion control, or naturalistic plantings. It produces small fragrant flowers in spring that attract bees, and the plant is well-suited to both coastal and inland Australian gard
