With its elegant, fountain-like shape and eye-catching green-and-cream striped foliage, this Lomandra offers a sophisticated look that complements both contemporary landscapes and naturalistic plantings.

Growth Rate and Mature Size

Growth Rate: Lomandra ‘Platinum Beauty’ grows at a moderate pace, typically establishing within the first season and continuing to fill out into a lush, rounded clump over time. It maintains a neat, upright habit without needing frequent trimming.

Mature Size: At maturity, this variety typically reaches 2–3 feet in height and spreads 2–3 feet wide. Its uniform, arching form creates a soft, grassy texture that stays compact and tidy, making it perfect for edging paths, softening hardscapes, or underplanting taller shrubs and trees.

Watering and Sunlight

Watering: Once established, ‘Platinum Beauty’ is remarkably drought-tolerant. Water deeply during extended dry periods, but avoid overwatering or soggy soils. Its tough root system allows it to thrive in a wide range of conditions—from dry slopes to irrigated beds—making it especially useful in water-wise gardens.

Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. In full sun, it maintains the brightest, most defined variegation. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can help prevent leaf tip browning and ensure year-round freshness. Its versatility in light conditions makes it ideal for mixed plantings in open or dappled locations.
