Breeze Lomandra

Breeze Lomandra is a grass like perennial with fine, strap like foliage that provides you with an easy to manage ground cover. In the late spring to early summer months Dwarf Mat Rush will produce yellow to orange plumes that can remain until autumn! At maturity expect your mat Rush plant to reach upwards of 3′ x 3′ and forming a natural mounding shape. 

This is a drought tolerant decorative plant and remains an evergreen in areas that reach as low as the teens in the winter. If you are placing your Breeze Lomandra in full sun expect foliage to be a lighter pine green than if you were to place it in the shade where it will take on a deeper hue of green.

In larger areas it can be a great groundcover. Additionally, it is a plant that pairs perfectly with anything found in a xeriscape garden or Asian themed garden as well.
