Lomandra 'Miner's Gold'

Planting:

• Lomandra 'Miners Gold' thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Avoid areas prone to waterlogging, as it dislikes sitting in excess moisture.
• If your soil is heavy or clay-based, improve drainage by mixing in grit, sand, or organic matter like compost.
• Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and place the plant at the same depth it was in the pot. Backfill with soil and firm it down gently.
• After planting, give the plant a deep soak to help settle the roots into their new home.

Planting in a Pot:

• Choose a large pot with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. A pot at least 30cm in diameter will give the roots room to establish.
• A mix of multi-purpose compost with added grit or perlite works well to prevent waterlogging.
• Place the plant at the same level as it was in its nursery pot and backfill with compost, pressing it in firmly.
• After planting, water thoroughly and allow excess moisture to drain away.

Aftercare Advice:

• Lomandra is very drought-tolerant and only needs occasional watering in prolonged dry periods.
• Container-grown plants dry out more quickly, so check the soil moisture weekly and water when the top few centimetres feel dry.
• Hardy to -10C, Lomandra 'Miners Gold' can withstand frost but may benefit from a mulch layer around the base in very harsh winters.
• Container plants are more vulnerable to frost - Move pots to a sheltered spot or wrap them in fleece during severe cold snaps.
• Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser once in spring and again in mid-summer to promote healthy foliage and strong growth.
• If growing in a container, a slow-release fertiliser applied in spring will ensure nutrients are available over a longer period.
