Frosty Top 140MM

Lomandra confertifolia ssp. rubiginosa 'Frosty Top'

I am Frosty Top. My family originated from Australia.

Habit Strappy - Drought and Frost Hardy
Plant family Asparagaceae
I am a hardy Australian native, dense stylish grass like plant with graceful lightly weeping fine blue-grey-green foliage. My new growth has a silver-frosted look. In spring and summer I produce unusual yellow flowers borne on purple-grey stems which contrast beautifully against my foliage. I require minimal to no maintenance and am rarely affected by pest and disease. I am a strong performer in the garden holding my colour and form even in challenging growing conditions. Very hardy I tolerate extremes of temperature and dry conditions. I make and impressive statement mass planted.
