It grows 400mm to 500mm high and 600mm to 750mm wide, with fine green leaves that cascade from the tussock. Ozbreed says that, unlike male lomandras, it does not attract ants, which lowers the risk of root rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFewer ants, less root rot.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ozbreed says this female form does not attract the ants that male lomandras do, which significantly reduces the risk of root rot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleaner leaves.\u003c\/strong\u003e The foliage stays tidy with fewer blemishes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf cleaning flowers.\u003c\/strong\u003e The flowers tidy themselves away and the seeds are non-viable, so it keeps its clumping shape without seeding around.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTough in wet and dry.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is very frost tolerant and copes well with both drought and wet conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrims less often.\u003c\/strong\u003e It needs cutting back less frequently than other lomandras.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMass planting.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant 50cm apart, about four plants per square metre (Ozbreed's range is three to four).
