Lomandra confertifolia 'Little Con' - Mat Rush

Lomandra confertifolia ‘Little Con’ is a compact, evergreen native grass forming a small, rounded mound of lime-green foliage. This neat and clean-growing variety adds a soft yet structured look to gardens and is well-suited to borders, containers, and mass plantings. Its drought, frost, and wind tolerance make it a reliable performer in both coastal and inland Melbourne gardens. ‘Little Con’ thrives in full sun to semi shade and is an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscapes.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers well-drained sandy or loamy soils.
• Light: Full sun to semi shade, brighter foliage in full sun.
• Watering: Low water needs once established; water during extended dry periods.
• Fertiliser: Use a low-phosphorus slow-release fertiliser in spring.
• Maintenance: Trim back old foliage every 1–2 years to maintain compact form.
• Flowering: Produces insignificant flowers; grown primarily for foliage.

Its tidy growth habit makes it ideal for small spaces, courtyards, and poolside designs. Pair with Dianella, Lomandra ‘Lime Tuff’, or native wildflowers for textural contrast in low-water gardens.
