three feet tall
The Breeze is advertised to grow three feet tall and wide. In my experience, it will grow four or five feet wide with time (four plus years). So be sure to plant them far enough apart so they do not grow into each other, otherwise you may lose that nice arching shape of each individual plant.

It is tolerant of a wide range of conditions and requires little to no maintenance once established. Plant in full sun to moderate shade. This is a drought tolerant plant once established, particularly when grown in some shade along the coast, but can also tolerate regular irrigation or even wet soils.

Maintenance. Mulch and water the Lomandra plants till they get established. It will take around 12 weeks after planting for the plant to establish. Trimming the foliage of the plants by half in every 3-5 years reduces the size of the clump.

Lomandra breeze isn’t considered toxic or invasive. It’s a relatively easy plant to grow with just a few pest concerns. Pests are not a problem for outdoor growth but may appear indoors.

Care: Water as required for 8-13 weeks until established. Plant in a well mulched garden (chunky mulch is recommended). Ensure crown or base of plant is not below soil or mulch level. If required use slow release fertiliser in spring.

longifolia propagates by seed or clump division. When the fruits are matured and turn brown, sow the seed in moist soil for 6 weeks in the greenhouse/outdoor. Clump division: by dividing the plant into half and plant them in moist soil indoor/outdoor.

longifolia is a perennial, rhizomatous herb. Leaves are glossy green, shiny, firm, flat. They can grow from 40cm up to 1m long and 8-12mm wide and are usually taller than the flowering stem. Leaf bases are broad with yellow, orange or brownish margins and the tips of the leaves are prominently toothed.

Loosen the soil to get a better look at the root ball. Separate the clump into two sections. Plant the sections in moist soil, either indoors or outdoors. When planting a mass of lomandra breeze plants, space them at least 2′ feet apart.

Lomandra Varieties The largest of the Lomandra is Katie Belles. It grows nicely in bright sun or dappled shade and produces prolific creamy white inflorescences. Lomandra ‘Katrina Deluxe’ has fragrant flowers and a compact habit while ‘Nyalla’ has blue foliage and yellow flowers.

4-6 weeks
The mix should be scattered over firmly packed potting mix in a standard seed tray. Kept moist, the seeds should germinate in 4-6 weeks.

Growing much smaller than the species, this cultivar reaches to 24 to 40 inches tall and spreads to about the same. Its medium green, thick, strap-like leaves are accented by spiny flower spikes with tiny creamy yellow male flowers, lightly scented like sweet honey in the afternoon.

This plant is known to be very low maintenance and doesn’t require any pruning. Lomandra Breeze is a plant that fits well in rocky gardens, near poolsides, coastal gardens, or just about anywhere in climates known for regular droughts. Find more plants and landscape ideas here.

The name Lomandra comes from the Greek words ‘loma’ meaning “margin” and ‘andros’ meaning “male” and is in reference to a circular margin on the anthers. The specific epithet ‘longifolia’ means “long leaves”.
