When I planted these Lomandra hystrix I had no idea that they would work so well to cover the 1.8m high fence, now when I look at this area I realise how perfect they are.It is a difficult spot, fairly shady and not a great deal of soil but these Lomandras have filled out nicely and create a beautiful back drop and screen for this utility area in the garden.Lomandra hystrix naturally grows on creek banks and in deep shade of rainforest species, although it is used to a lot of moisture it will cope for long periods of drought once established.
