Description:
A compact, very low growing Lomandra montana with a wide spread. Monty's wider spread for such a small plant makes it far more useful in landscapes than Lomandra confertifolia types, which usually have a much more narrow habit and grow taller.This tough native shade plant is a suitable replacement for Liriope in heavily shaded areas. Monty has a beautiful fine leaf, and a spectacular flower. It does not produce seed, so it is a safe one to plant anywhere. Size: 30 cm high x 60 cm wide Use as a specimen or for mass planting in residential or commercial sites.
