Where to Grow

Lomandra Lime Tuff (*Lomandra longifolia* 'Lime Tuff') thrives in full sun to partial shade. This compact, low-maintenance grass is ideal for garden beds, borders, mass planting, and containers, where its fine lime-green foliage adds color year-round. Ensure the planting site has well-draining soil, as Lomandra Lime Tuff is tolerant of various soil types but does not thrive in waterlogged conditions.

Climate

Lomandra Lime Tuff tolerates a wide range of climates, from cool to tropical, and is frost- and drought-tolerant once established. It grows best in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C, making it suitable for Australian gardens. This hardy grass remains vibrant throughout the seasons, providing consistent structure and color to the landscape.

Soil Type

Plant Lomandra Lime Tuff in well-draining soil. It adapts to various soil types, including sandy and clay loams. The ideal pH is slightly acidic to neutral (6.0-7.0). Adding organic matter, such as compost, improves soil quality and helps retain moisture while maintaining good drainage.

Fertilizer

Feed young Lomandra Lime Tuff plants with a low-phosphorus, slow-release fertiliser after planting to support establishment. Established plants generally do not require regular fertilising, as Lomandra is a low-maintenance, hardy species.
