Description:
Lomandra 'Trojan' is a hardy, evergreen grass-like perennial renowned for its fine, deep green foliage and compact form. This Australian native is highly adaptable, making it an ideal choice for a variety of landscaping uses, including borders, mass plantings, and low-maintenance gardens. Its resilience to drought, frost, and poor soils makes it a popular option for both commercial and residential settings.
Flowers:
In spring, 'Trojan' produces small, creamy-yellow flowers on slender spikes that rise above the foliage. The blooms are subtle but fragrant, adding a delicate touch to the plant and attracting pollinators.
Foliage:
The plant has narrow, arching, deep green leaves that form a dense, clumping mound. The fine-textured foliage resembles ornamental grasses, providing a soft, lush appearance that remains vibrant throughout the year.
Fruit:
This variety does not produce notable fruit, as its primary ornamental appeal lies in its foliage and flowers.
Form and Size:
'Lomandra' 'Trojan' has a compact, clumping growth habit, typically reaching a height of 50 to 60 cm and spreading about 40 to 50 cm. Its low-growing form and dense foliage make it ideal for ground cover and border plantings.
Growing Conditions:
This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and is adaptable to a wide range of soil types, including sandy, clay, and loamy soils, as long as they are well-draining. Lomandra 'Trojan' is highly drought-tolerant once established and can withstand frost, making it suitable for various climates.
Uses:
Lomandra 'Trojan' is versatile in landscaping, often used for borders, ground cover, erosion control, and mass plantings. Its compact form and fine foliage make it an excellent choice for adding texture to garden beds and low-maintenance spaces, as well as in rockeries and container plantings.
Maintenance:
This variety is extremely low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning. An occasional trim back to remove old foliage keeps the plant looking fresh. Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support healthy growth.
Notes:
Lomandra 'Trojan' is prized for its resilience and ability to thrive in challenging conditions, including poor soils and dry environments. Its neat form and attractive foliage make it a popular choice for landscapers and gardeners seeking a reliable, drought-tolerant ground cover.
Companion Plants:
Pairs well with other low-maintenance plants such as Westringia, Dianella, and Leptospermum. It also complements flowering perennials and shrubs, adding a soft, grassy texture to mixed plantings.
