Native Grass and Wetland Plant Nursery

What are strappy leaf plants? Strappy leafed plants are often thought of as grasses but are not in the true botanical sense of the word. Strappy leaf plants include; Lomandra & Dianella  varieties. These strappy leafed plants varieties have become favourites of landscape designers in recent years for one very sound reason; they maintain their ornamental appearance under drought conditions better than many other plants.

Lomandra longifolia LM300 (PBR)

Strappy Leaf Plants planted in combination with grasses form fantastic foliage contrasts. A good planting combination is to use 75% Strappy Leaf Plants to 25% Grass. This ratio has worked well on many projects.
