Lomandra longifolia ‘White Sands’ — Variegated Australian grass
The Lomandra longifolia ‘White Sands’ is a graphic and robust plant native to Australia. Its finely ribboned foliage, light green edged with cream, forms a dense and elegant clump that naturally structures outdoor spaces.
Very tolerant of heat, wind, and drought, this modern ornamental grass is perfect for urban gardens, sun-exposed balconies, or minimalist terraces.
Exposure & location
The Lomandra ‘White Sands’ enjoys full sun but tolerates light partial shade. It thrives in all well-drained soils, even poor ones, and perfectly resists sea spray and urban winds.
- Exposure: full sun or partial shade.
- Location: bright balcony, terrace, or outdoor flowerbed.
- Soil: light, draining, dry to fresh.
- Pot culture: excellent, for a graphic and lasting touch.
Verdeia tip: in a pot, choose a wide container rather than a deep one to let the clump fully flourish.
Watering & maintenance
- Watering: low to moderate, only during prolonged heat waves.
- Maintenance: almost none: simply cut dry leaves at the end of winter.
- Hardiness: excellent, tolerates down to -10 °C.
- Durability: evergreen foliage all year round.
An ideal plant for those who want green all year round without constraints: it adapts to almost all conditions.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its fine and bright foliage makes it an excellent choice for contemporary compositions or natural atmospheres. In a pot, it adds movement and a touch of lightness to mineral spaces.
- To pair with: phormium, carex, agapanthus, or lavender for a Mediterranean composition.
- Ideal ambiance: sunny terrace, modern balcony, dry garden.
- Ideal pot: terracotta or matte ceramic, light or sand tone.
The contrast of its variegated foliage brightens modern terraces and urban balconies.
Verdeia Tips
- Avoid excess water; it is a dry soil plant.
