In what I hope we be an ongoing series I wanted to talk about Lomandra or Mat Rush. This is a fantastic pseudo grass like plant that hails from Australia. Which means it’s fairly drought tolerant and doesn’t need much of the maintenance that true ornamental grasses require. It comes in a handful of different sizes and shades of green, which means it should be easy to fit it into almost any design scheme. 

It will perform well in coastal gardens in Ocean Beach through to Mission Hills and even into our local foothills without any issues. Sun to part shade, dry to waters edge you will find this increasingly popular plant thriving. It adds not only a great green vertical element to the landscape but it also contributes movement to otherwise still gardens.
