Characteristics of Lomandra longifolia ‘Miner’s Gold’ ®
Lomandra longifolia ‘Miner’s Gold’ ® forms a dense clump approximately 50 cm high and 75 cm wide. Its long, narrow, arching leaves develop a particularly strong golden colour in full sun, becoming more yellow-green in partial shade. The evergreen foliage provides year-round structure in suitable climates. Small cream to pale yellow inflorescences appear during the growing season, although the main ornamental feature of this selection is its foliage. ‘Miner’s Gold’, selected by Keith and Jennifer Miner, is distinguished by its regular cascading habit and a much brighter foliage colour than the typical form of Lomandra longifolia.
How to use Lomandra longifolia ‘Miner’s Gold’ ®?
Lomandra longifolia ‘Miner’s Gold’ ® can be grown both in open ground and in containers. Its flexible habit makes it suitable for borders, the front of beds, rock gardens, slopes and repeated ground-cover planting. It can also be grown in large pots to provide structure on terraces and patios. Its golden foliage creates strong contrasts with dark green, purple or grey-leaved plants. Once established, the cultivar tolerates periods of drought, although irrigation remains necessary during establishment and may still be required during prolonged dry spells. Its tolerance of salt-laden winds also makes it suitable for coastal landscaping.
What are the best cultivation tips for Lomandra longifolia ‘Miner’s Gold’ ®?
Plant Lomandra longifolia ‘Miner’s Gold’ ® in full sun or partial shade, in well-drained soil. It adapts to sandy, loamy and calcareous soils. Allow approximately 60 to 80 cm between plants, depending on the desired ground-cover effect. Water regularly after planting to encourage root establishment, then gradually reduce irrigation once the plant is established. Avoid soils that remain waterlogged for prolonged periods, particularly in winter. Regular pruning is not required; removing damaged or dead leaves is generally sufficient. Moderate fertilisation in spring can be beneficial in poor soils or for container-grown plants. Hardiness is generally rated to around -10°C.
