This hardy, low-maintenance variety of Lomandra longifolia boasts fine, dense green foliage that adds texture and structure to gardens. 'Verday' is ideal for mass plantings, erosion control, and borders, and it tolerates a wide range of conditions. It produces small, fragrant yellow flowers in spring, making it a versatile and attractive choice for any garden setting.
Care Considerations: | Drought-tolerant once established and requires low to moderate watering. Organic mulch helps retain moisture and control weeds, especially when newly planted. Fertilisation is minimal, but a light feed with a balanced or native fertiliser during the growing season can encourage growth. Prune dead or damaged foliage to keep the plant looking tidy and fresh. |
