A clumping grass-like perennial with attractive narrow bluish-green foliage and masses of perfumed yellow flowers in spring. Great as a background or mass planting in the garden. This cultivar has proven to be very adaptable and is arguably the best Lomandra on the market for appearance and all round performance. Grows in sandy to clay soils, and full sun to shaded positions.
