Frequently Asked Questions
Does Lomandra need to be pruned every year? No annual pruning is necessary — simply remove dry or damaged leaves at the base at the end of winter to cleanly regenerate the clump, never cutting halfway up.
How do you propagate a Lomandra 'White Sands'? By dividing the clump in spring — separate the root ball into several sections with roots and replant them directly in pots or beds to get new identical plants.

🌾 Light green fine foliage edged with cream • 🌿 Evergreen all year round • ☀️ Full sun to partial shade • 💧 Very low watering • 🐾 Non-toxic • 📏 H40 cm | Pot Ø19 cm
Lomandra longifolia 'White Sands' is an ornamental grass native to Australia, with finely ribboned light green foliage edged in cream. Its dense, architectural clump naturally structures outdoor spaces, from terraces and balconies to garden beds in the ground.
Among the most hardy plants in the catalog — heat, drought, wind, sea spray — it adapts to almost all tough conditions without special care.
Exposure & Location
The Lomandra 'White Sands' enjoys full sun but tolerates light partial shade well. It grows in all well-drained soils, even poor ones, and withstands sea spray and urban winds without flinching. In a pot, choose a wide rather than deep container to allow the clump to fully develop.
- Exposure: full sun to light partial shade.
- Location: bright balcony, terrace, outdoor garden bed.
- Soil: light, well-draining — tolerates poor and dry soils.
- Hardiness: down to −10 °C, evergreen foliage all year round.
In a pot, choose a wide rather than deep container — Lomandra develops a horizontal root system that needs space in width to form a dense, balanced clump.
Watering & Care
The Lomandra 'White Sands' is one of the easiest plants in the catalog — almost no maintenance once established. Water moderately the first year, then space out watering significantly. It is not afraid of drought; excess water is its only real risk. If leaves turn yellow, it is almost always due to insufficient drainage.
- Watering: low to moderate, only during prolonged heat waves.
- Care: minimal — cut dry or damaged leaves at the base at the end of winter.
- Drainage: essential — stagnant moisture is its only real risk.
- Foliage: evergreen — green and decorative all year round.
Unlike most grasses, Lomandra does not require drastic annual pruning — simply remove dry leaves individually at the base to gradually regenerate the clump.
Decor Ideas & Plant Pairings
The fine bicolor green and cream foliage of Lomandra 'White Sands' brings lightness and movement to architectural plant compositions. It naturally fits contemporary, Mediterranean, and minimalist styles.
- For a contrasting grass composition, pair it with a Phormium 'Rubra Nana' in copper red — the fine cream green of Lomandra and the broad copper-red ribbons of Phormium create a very graphic duo of textures and colors on a contemporary terrace.
- For a Mediterranean grass trio, add a silver-blue Festuca glauca 'Azura' — the three clumps in cream green, copper red, and silver blue create a very decorative and maintenance-free ornamental grass composition.
- For a graphic balcony planter, the Elho Greenville round white planter highlights the bicolor foliage of Lomandra — the neutral white pot accentuates the light green and cream contrast of the foliage.
- For an autumn-winter composition, the persistent copper-red Uncinia rubra 'Everflame' complements Lomandra — two evergreen grasses with complementary colors that maintain the terrace’s decorative interest even out of season.
Verdeia Tips
- Never overwater: Lomandra is a dry-soil plant — excess water and stagnant moisture at the bottom of the pot cause root rot much faster than drought. When in doubt, always wait before watering.
- Cut damaged leaves at the base, never mid-leaf: cutting mid-leaf leaves permanent brown scars that are very unsightly on each leaf — gently pull or cut at the base to cleanly regenerate the clump.
- Propagate by division of clumps in spring: separate the root ball into several sections and replant directly in pots or garden beds — this is the simplest and fastest method to get new identical plants.

Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
