Lomandra 'Cracker Jack'
Lomandra 'Cracker Jack' is a tough, compact Australian native grass prized for its fine blue-green foliage and naturally tidy, rounded habit. This hardy evergreen plant provides year-round structure and texture, making it an excellent choice for modern landscapes, mass plantings, borders, commercial landscapes and low-maintenance gardens. Exceptionally drought tolerant once established, it also copes well with coastal conditions, heat and frost, making it suitable for gardens throughout South East Queensland and much of Australia.
Flowers
Small cream to yellow fragrant flower spikes appear during spring and early summer, rising just above the foliage. While not particularly showy, they provide seasonal interest and attract beneficial insects.
Foliage
Fine blue-green strap-like foliage forms a dense, compact mound that remains attractive throughout the year with minimal maintenance.
Fruit
Produces small seed capsules following flowering, although these are generally insignificant in ornamental plantings.
