Lomandra Platinum Beauty (Lomandra longifolia ‘Roma 13’) is a striking evergreen perennial grass with graceful, arching foliage striped in green and creamy white. This low-maintenance ornamental grass-like plant brings texture, movement, and year-round color to the garden. It is highly versatile—working beautifully in perennial borders, mass plantings, slopes, and erosion control. Its compact form and striking variegated leaves also make it an excellent choice for containers, where it adds elegance and contrast.

This variety is prized for its toughness and adaptability. Lomandra Platinum Beauty tolerates heat, drought, and poor soils once established, making it an easy-care option for landscapes seeking beauty with minimal upkeep.

Lomandra Platinum Beauty Care

Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly during the first season to establish deep roots. Once established, the plant is highly drought tolerant and requires little supplemental water. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and again in summer to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Minimal pruning is needed—just remove older or damaged leaves to maintain a fresh appearance.

Lomandra Platinum Beauty Growth & Spacing

This evergreen perennial typically grows 24–36 inches tall and wide. For mass plantings or borders, space plants 4 to 5 feet apart, measuring from the center of each clump. In containers, Lomandra Platinum Beauty provides a dramatic focal point or pairs well with flowering perennials and other ornamental grasses.
