Lime Tuff has long arching lime green foliage that remains clean and tidy. It is evergreen in all kinds of climates from the coast to inland. It is very frost hardy and survives coast summer humidity very well. While not completely Phytophthora-resistant like Shara and Evergreen Baby, it is still hardier than other Lomandra confertifolia varieties.

Flowering
From late winter through to spring, with scented flowers borne among the foliage
