Lomandra Effusa
''Lomandra effusa'' is a perennial, dioecious, rhizomatous herb native to Australia. It is a perennial tussock with bluish green, large, arching leaves which are distinctive by the two toothed leaf tip. It has white, cream or pink fragrant flowers during the months of June to October. This native Australian plant is found in Victoria, SA, south of WA, ACT, and NSW states on slopes and dunes, well-drained flats, and near salt pans and granite outcrops. It grows in most soils with full to partial sun and is tolerant to harsh weather including droughts and heavy frost and against invasive species. It is often found in tussock grassland ecological groups alongside its close relative ''Lomandra multiflora'' and other similar sized perennial grasses. ''Lomandra effusa'' forms a habitat that acts as protection for small native animals. It can be a food source for some herbivores, birds, butterflies, and larvae but is only used for grazing in poor years. It has a lineage that da ...
