Product description
Lomandra White Sands is a unique perennial which looks similar to an ornamental grass. Despite its grass-like appearance, this plant is actually a perennial, with small, yellow flowers blooming from late spring until summer. The foliage, however, is what makes this plant special. Slender, arching leaves are variegated with shades of grey-green and white, providing year-round colour and texture.
Plant Lomandra White Sands in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. It is very easy to maintain as it can withstand very cold temperatures as well as very hot, dry periods, although it will benefit from some light pruning in early spring to remove any dead leaves. An excellent choice for borders and ground cover to add year-round colour and texture.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a growers pot.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
