Plant description
Bright golden-yellow, strappy foliage and a neat, clump-forming habit make Lomandra longifolia 'Miner’s Gold' a standout option for low-maintenance gardens. This evergreen grass-like perennial keeps its colour well in full sun and is highly tolerant of dry, exposed conditions once established.
Ideal for use in borders, containers, or mass planting schemes, it copes well with coastal winds, or elevated spaces such as roof gardens, and poor soils, provided drainage is good. The softly arching leaves form a tidy dome and its compact form and drought resistance, once established, suit contemporary gardens, gravel gardens, and Mediterranean-style designs.

How to care for Lomandra longifolia Miner's Gold ('KM-MG24') (PBR):
Plant in well-drained soil in full sun for the best leaf colour, though it will tolerate light shade. Avoid overly rich or heavy clay soils that stay wet in winter.
Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish roots. Once established, it becomes more drought-tolerant and needs only occasional watering, though colour and vigour are improved with a summer soak.
Trim back old or damaged foliage in late winter or early spring to maintain its tidy shape. This plant is low-maintenance, doesn’t need feeding, and shows resistance to pests or diseases.
