Lomandra fluvitalis (ABU7) Shara™

Common Name:
Shara™ Lomandra

Description:
Lomandra fluviatilis Shara™ (ABU7) is a refined, compact native grass with exceptional durability and a tidy, clumping habit. Developed for high performance in a variety of landscape settings, Shara™ features fine, deep green, strappy foliage that remains neat throughout the year. It thrives in both dry and wet conditions, tolerating periodic flooding and heavy clay soils — making it a standout choice for Melbourne gardens, particularly in areas prone to moisture variation. Extremely low-maintenance and non-invasive, Shara™ is also highly resistant to disease, particularly phytophthora root rot. It’s ideal for mass planting, borders, erosion control on embankments, and as a resilient ground cover in public or residential landscapes. With year-round structure and reliability, it adds texture and green contrast without the need for frequent trimming or care.
