| Information Guide |
Little Lime is essentially a derived smaller and more compact form of Lomandra confertifolia species Lime Tuff. The foliage is finer than Lime Tuff and stays lush all year round. Little Lime is the perfect choice for low borders and provides contrast in landscapes. This newer form of Lomandra is an extremely versatile plant that provides accent colour for gardens. Little Lime is desirable to use in large landscape projects where smaller plants are required. Other commonly known smaller forms are Lomandra Little Con, Lomandra Pom Pom and Lomandra Echidna Grass. |

| Soil PH Conditions | Soil pH: 6.4 to 7.5 - Soil preparation: Soil can range from quite acid to alkaline in pH levels, it is important to have good soil preparation to gain the best results when planting natives. This improves the water-holding capacity of the soil and for young plants, once established, will have lower water requirements. |
| Water Recommendations | Grows well in both shade and full sun. It is adaptable to most well drained soils and is a versatile plant. Once this plant is established it will tolerate dry and light frost conditions, but over long periods of dry will require watering. |
| Fertiliser Recommendations | This plant requires little maintenance and it is best to initially feed with a slow release low phosphorus fertiliser to help first establish the plant. It is beneficial to follow up with the occasional reapplication of fertiliser and apply as required. Mulching around the base of the plant will help retain moisture and suppress weeds. |
