This range of Lomandra both new and old allows the designer to create texture and colour with plants that are suited to our environment. the plants in the photo below are 300mm and 200mm specimens grown in the nursery, we have found that the 300mm are excellent for making a bold statement in the landscape The plants in this photo are Lomandra Crackerjack, Kiera, Blue Ridge, and Tilga with a Lomandra Hystrix for comparison.

| The blue foliage of Lomandra Blue Ridge has to be seen to be believed, it makes an excellent feature plant. It is slow growing and only grows to 350mm,so,when planting, it is best to plant more densely than other Lomandra. We have been growing this species for over three years with great success. | ||

This is one of the most exciting new intermediate Lomandra. It features a fine leafed, deep green foliage that fits in perfectly between Lomandra hystrix and Lomandra Kiera tm. It is very hardy and has thrived through our Spring and wet summer. This suits mass planting in median strips or can be used as a textural filler in the landscape |

A fine leafed Lomandra with a distinct grey foliage. Crackerjack Tm will grow in full sun or light semi shade and is excellent for creating textural highlights in a landscape. We have been trialing this Lomandra for over a year in the nursery and in the landscape with excellent results |

This is a form of Lomandra confertifolia which has a naturally bright green foliage. This makes it perfect for a green border or as a filler in a native or tropical garden. Kiera grows well in full sun but will also grow well in part shade. |

| A fast growing dense Dianella that can be used to create a border in a native or rainforest garden. The established plants in the photos were planted from 125mm pots about 3 months before the photos were taken. [I took these photos with a mobile phone after stopping in amazement at the masses of colour evident in these gardens I had designed! Noel] | ||
