Spiny-head Mat Rush

Lomandra longifolia

لوماندرا

An extremely tough evergreen strappy plant that looks like an ornamental grass and survives conditions that kill most of them. Handles drought, poor soil, shade, and foot traffic on a bank.

Blooming season: Spring
Flower colour: Cream-yellow
How to care: Full sun to full shade in almost any soil, tolerating both drought and periodic wet. Water while establishing, then very little. Essentially maintenance free: trim tired foliage or cut the clump back hard every few years to refresh it. Excellent for erosion control on slopes and for mass planting in difficult positions where irrigation is unreliable.

Mondo Grass

Ophiopogon japonicus

Not a true grass but a dense evergreen tuft that spreads slowly into an unbroken dark green carpet. The classic solution for shaded ground where lawn refuses to grow, and for planting between stepping stones.

Lilyturf

Liriope muscari

Strap-like arching foliage topped with violet flower spikes in late summer, followed by black berries. Tougher and more sun tolerant than mondo grass, and excellent as a low edging along a path or drive.

Purple Fountain Grass

Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum'

Burgundy foliage and soft purple plumes that catch low sun and move constantly in the slightest breeze. The most-planted ornamental grass in the region, and deservedly so.
