Description: Lomandra 'Little Lime' is a compact, clumping, evergreen perennial grass native to Australia. It features fine, lime-green, strap-like leaves that form a neat, rounded tuft, making it an excellent choice for low borders, mass plantings, or as an accent plant in gardens and landscapes. This hardy plant thrives in full sun to part shade and is well-suited to Melbourne's climate, tolerating drought, frost, and coastal conditions. 'Little Lime' is low-maintenance and retains its vibrant colour year-round, providing consistent visual interest.
