Yes Evergreen

Grasses, Strappy & Tufting Clumping, Rounded, Tufting
Description:
Fibre Optic has quickly become a favourite with its soft foliage posing no threat to the dedicated gardener or passers by, unlike many Lomandra varieties that produce stiff foliage and long flower spikes. It bears small pale yellow flowers that don't grow large spikes and stand out beautifully against the lime-green foliage. Only growing to about 60cm or so high, it's a well suited option for smaller, low-maintenance gardens or mass plantings in larger gardens for a more dramatic effect.
