Family: Asparagaceae (also placed in Lomandraceae, Xanthorrhoeaceae, Dasypogonaceae, Liliaceae by various authorities)


This group has been enthusiastically embraced by commercial landscapers. While they may grow well if neglected, to look good they need to be properly placed and tidied up periodically.

Lomandras were featured in the 24-04-2026 edition of Get Results Gardening, a weekly publication for Australians via email. When you request a free trial (go calyx.com.au/getresultsgardening.html for more information), you can also ask for a copy of the 24-04-2026 edition if you want to see the lomandra article (Australian residents only).

More images will be added over time, but in-depth, high-quality information is now being reserved for the email publication (mini-magazine) Get Results Gardening. This is due to the decline of online advertising and the rise of content appropriation by artificial intelligence programs and others. If you live in Australia and would like to see a copy of the 24-04-2026 edition, which contained an article about lomandras, ask for it in the body of your email message when you request a free trial.
