Description

Miner's Gold Mat Rush (Lomandra longifolia 'Miner's Gold') is a striking evergreen, grass-like perennial valued for its golden-yellow foliage and graceful, clumping growth habit. Long, narrow, arching leaves form a dense, fountain-shaped mound, bringing warm color, fine texture, and movement to the landscape throughout the year. This Australian native selection provides an attractive contrast against darker green shrubs, ornamental grasses, and flowering perennials. Once established, it offers good drought tolerance and adapts to a range of well-drained soils. Its architectural form and colorful foliage make it an excellent choice for modern gardens, mass plantings, borders, rock gardens, and decorative patio containers.
