LUCKY STRIPE™ Lomandra
Lucky Stripe™ Lomandra hystrix ‘LMV200’ PBR
- Clean variegated foliage
- Reliable and tough, even in humid climates
- Ideal for erosion control, mass roadside plantings, rain gardens and green walls
Description: Lucky Stripe™ Lomandra is one of the only ultra-tough no fuss strappy leaf variegated plants with such mass planting appeal. From Cairns to Melbourne to Perth, Lucky Stripe™ Lomandra has ultra clean foliage, even in humid climates.
Blemishes and spots usually greatly affect variegated strappy leaf plants, but Lucky Stripe™ Lomandra is an exception, generally remaining spot free.
Years ago Silver Streak™ Dianella became popular due to its white and green foliage, but the plant did not perform long term in most Australian conditions.
Now a similar colour contrast can be achieved with a super reliable long lived plant. Lucky Stripe™ Lomandra rarely, if ever, produces viable seed, so it will stay where it is planted. Grows well in dry and wet soils.
Size: 780cm-1m high x 90cm wide.
Planting Density: 1-2 plants per m², 1-2 plants per linear metre.
Uses: Feature planting and mass planting in commercial and lansdcape gardens. Excellent for erosion control, mass roadside plantings, rain gardens and green walls.
Position: Full sun to part shade. Tolerates drought and moderate frost. Sandy loam to heavy clay soils (wet and dry).
Care: Water as required for 8-13 weeks until established. Occassional top up watering will be required in very dry conditions.
