'LLP002'] Height: 1-2 feet Width: 1-2 feet Exposure: Sun or Shade Seaside: Yes Irrigation (H2O Info): Low Water Needs Winter Hardiness: 15-20° F Lomandra confertifolia Lime Tight ['Limtigra'] PPAF (Leading™Lime Tight Lomandra) - An evergreen grass-like perennial with narrow bright green strap-shaped leaves curiously cut as though with pinking shears at the tips. This cultivar grows upright with a cylindrical shape to 18 to 24 inches tall, spreading to about the same width. Plant in full sun to part shade in a well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally to infrequently. Should prove hardy to moderate frost and temperatures down to 15°F and useful in gardens down to USDA Zone 8. This new cultivar should prove to be useful in mass as a groundcover, an accent plant or in a container. It is similar in look but smaller than Lomandra 'Lime Tuff' and also pretty similar to Lomandra confertifolia ssp. pallida 'Pom Pom'. This plant first came to us in 2020 with a trial of 5 other lomandra from Star Roses and Plants (Ball Horticulture) with the name 'Little Lime' but is being released with the cultivar name 'Limtigra' and the marketing name Leading™ Lime Tight. The other plant selected from these trials was Lomandra confertifolia Leading Lime Mist ['Mislimra']. This plant has a US Plant Patent applied for and it performed well in our trials in 1 gallon containers and was selected as being unique with strong upright foliage. As we learn more about how this plant performs in the landscape we will add this information.  This information about Lomandra confertifolia Lime Tight ['Limtigra'] PPAF displayed is based on research conducted in our library and from reliable online resources. We will also note observations that we have made about it as it grows in the gardens in our nursery and those elsewhere, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others, and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing it.     [MORE INFO]
