Common Name:
Echidna Grass

Description:
Lomandra confertifolia 'Echidna Grass' is a compact, clump-forming Australian native grass with fine, arching, bright green foliage that creates a soft, tufted appearance. This hardy and drought-tolerant plant is ideal for low-maintenance gardens, mass plantings, borders, and rockeries. In spring and early summer, it produces small, fragrant yellow flowers nestled within the foliage, adding subtle seasonal interest. 'Echidna Grass' thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts well to a variety of well-drained soils.
