 "Wingarra")
This tough little Lomandra has a very fine texture, which from a distance gives it the appearance of a Native Tussock Grass (Poa labillardieri). Unlike Poa, this plant will generally not need trimming. Its blue appearance provides a nice contrast to other plants. Wingarra is slightly slower to establish than other Lomandras, so in cooler climates, larger size pots are helpful. In warmer climates, more options are available. Check with your local grower.
Wingarra grows to approximately 300mm in height with a spread of 300mm. It is drought and frost tolerant. It needs much less trimming, and is much less likely to brown off in summer and winter.
 "Wingarra")
No Irrigation required once established in most populated areas of Australia. Water well for the first 12 weeks until established. Wingarra is an Australian native and is often used on roadside plantings, where it performs and looks great, with no irrigation only natural rainfall. In extra dry climates such as Perth or desert areas, occasional top up watering's may be required in the warmer months. Increased irrigation frequency will not adversely affect Wingarra. In severe drought occasional top up watering will result in more beautiful plants, and in 1 in 100 year droughts occasional watering may be required.
