Lomanrda Lime Tuff PBR

One of my favourite plants in the Bush Magik range is Lomandra Lime Tuff. At home, we have it planted in a narrow strip of garden along our fence (see picture to the left, titled ‘Lomandra ‘Lime Tuff’ – home garden’). It has grown so quickly and the flower spikes are just amazing to look at! While it does not have a completely ‘traditional’ Australian-native-plant appearance, it still fits in very nicely with the more indigenous flora. Below is some information on Lomandra ‘Lime Tuff’, taken from the Bush Magik website (www.bushmagik.com).

Lime Tuff is a compact form of Lomandra with fine, lush, lime green foliage that never needs pruning and stays green all year round. In Summer, lightly fragranced, small, yellow-golden flowers emerge from purplish-brown buds, providing a beautiful contrast with the evergreen foliage. It grows to a height of 0.5 – 1 metre and a width of 0.5 – 0.7 metre.

Lime Tuff is a species of Lomandra longifolia x confertifolia ssp. pallida that has been growing in the gardens at Bushland Flora for more than 10 years. It has been selected for its hardiness, high frost tolerance, low water requirements once established, large range of planting conditions – such as full sun to heavy shade – and low maintenance requirement. It is suitable to plant under established trees, and mass planted for erosion control. It also makes a fantastic feature plant and is great for borders and low level plantings.
