'Nyalla' Lomandra longifolia LM400
Landscape value
Lomandra longifolia 'Nyalla' is a tough plant that works well when mass planted and also makes a great specimen plant. For many years Nyalla had been unavailable due to production issues in tissue culture. Two years ago Bluedale made the decision to go back to basics and start a division programme using original parent plant material, the result being we now have stock available again. Stock may be limited throughout 2011 so place your orders in advance.
