What is Lomandra?
Lomandra is a permanent herb similar to grass that comes from most parts of Australia. This was once considered part of the Xanthorrhoaceae family or Black Boy.

It produces tiny scented yellow to yellowish flowers that grow in tight clusters on high spikes. It is assumed that the smell of flowers smells like pineapple. The name Lomandra comes from the Greek words quarry and Andros , which translates to the edge and man. This name is in fact a reference to the circular edge of the anthowes of plants.

Instead, it simply stops growing to save its energy until the water condition improves.
