Lomandra Tanika
Lomandra Tanika (LM300 PVR) is a standout Australian native that's as versatile as it is beautiful. This grass-like perennial boasts fine, deep-green, glossy leaves that arch gracefully, creating a lush backdrop in any garden setting. In the spring, it further enchants with creamy-yellow flowers, adding a touch of vibrancy to its green canvas.
Lomandra Tanika is not just about aesthetics; it's a testament to resilience. Whether you plant it in sandy soils or clay, in full sun or partial shade, this plant thrives. It's tolerant of heavy frost, drought, and even hot or humid conditions, making it a reliable choice for various climates. Once established, it requires minimal care, making it perfect for those who seek beauty without fuss.
With a height of 70cm and a width of 70cm, it's ideal for mass planting, lining pathways, or as a border in garden beds. Its clumping nature and bluish-green foliage make it a favourite for background plantings, while its perfumed yellow flowers in spring attract bees, other insects and skinks.
Trimming: Trim Lomandra Tanika in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or damaged foliage. This will help maintain a neat appearance and encourage fresh growth.
Fertilising: Apply a slow-release, balanced fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth. Lomandra Tanika thrives in low-nutrient soils, so avoid over-fertilising.
Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase to ensure the soil remains moist but well-draining. Once established, Lomandra Tanika is highly drought-tolerant and will only require occasional watering during extended dry periods.
Pest Control: Lomandra Tanika is generally pest-resistant. Regularly inspect the plant for any signs of pests and treat promptly with an appropriate pesticide if necessary.
Disease Management: Lomandra Tanika is typically disease-free. Ensure good air circulation and well-draining soil to prevent any potential issues. If disease symptoms do appear, remove and dispose of affected foliage and consider using a fungicide as needed.
