Lomandra confertifolia: A Bad Substitute Lomandra confertifolia Little Con Sometimes, Lomandra confertifolia types are Lomandra confertifolia substituted for Lomandra hystrix and longifolia varities even though they generally don’t survive in tough landscape conditions. Lomandra confertifolia occurs naturally only in dry shade and does not perform well in full sun. In comparison to other Lomandra types, Lomandra confertifolia are weaker, smaller and unable to survive in wet feet. Our Lomandra longifolia and hystrix varities including Tanika®, Katrinus DeluxeA, Nyalla® and Katie Belles™ have been proven to work in tough, low maintenance conditions for years, often staying evergreen when other varieties are browning off. Evergreen Baby™ Lomandra (left) after two and a half years has no loss to Blue Lomandra confertifolia root rot, while Lomandra confertifolia (right) has been devastated.

Almost no maintenance, no irrigation plants

Developed through consultation with Roads Departments and observation of road side plantings over the last 10 years. Note: If sub-standard processed mulch is used with lots of fine grade material, it can increase the likely-hood of root rot diseases. So it is recommended to only use the following plants...

Depressed or raised area with chunky mulch and no fines Use any of the following plants for depressed areas: Shara™, Evergreen Baby™, Katie Belles™ and Tropic Cascade™ Lomandra. Depressed or raised with fine grade mulch Use any of the following plants for raised areas: Use any of the following plants: Shara™, Evergreen Tanika®, Nyalla®, Shara™ and Evergreen Baby™, Katie Belles™ and Tropic Cascade™ Baby™ Lomandra and Little Jess™, Breeze®, Lomandra. Revelation® and Lucia™ (in good soils) Dianella.

We suggest using coarse grade Lomandra. These plants cope better with prolonged mulch with no fines for all roadside applications. wet feet, as well as dry conditions. Raised areas on the side of the road Depressed areas on the side of the road Use any of the following plants: Tanika®, Nyalla®, Use any of the following plants: Shara™, Evergreen Shara™ and Evergreen Baby™ Lomandra and Little Baby™ Katie Belles™ and Tropic Cascade™ Jess™, Breeze®, Revelation® and Lucia™ (in good Lomandra. soils) Dianella.

Batters and sloping areas Use any of the following plants: Tanika®, Nyalla® Lomandra and Little Jess™, Breeze®, Revelation® and Lucia™ (in good soils) Dianella. All these plants do well in this situation, with Tanika® Lomandra being the stand out, with its ability to stay even more evergreen in the most extreme droughts.
