Tanika® Lomandra

Lomandra longifolia ‘LM604’ Intended Trade Name Tanika®

Evergreen clean textual foliage
Approximately 15% mare basal shoots for improved production and cut back
Extreme and proven drought tolerance

Description: Soft, fine foliage and a weeping habit continue to make Tanika® Lomandra the popular choice in designer gardens and landscapes, as well as public spaces and roadsides, even after more than 20 years. It’s our most in-demand Lomandra. New improved genetics add better establishment vigour, improved propagation, and better nursery pot growth, while also tolerating extreme cutbacks. It looks basically the same as the Tanika® Lomandra you’ve always loved, with improved basal shoots. In Tissue Culture production tests, ‘LM604’ had approximately 15% more basal shoots than ‘LM300’, explaining its improved underground shoots, better propagation and cutback response.
