Notes from the plant tag:

A delightful, compact Australian native grass-like plant with fine, soft, narrow green foliage that forms a naturally rounded mound resembling the spiky appearance of an echidna. Its neat, dense growth habit makes it an attractive, low-maintenance addition to gardens of all sizes.

Native to Queensland's Sunshine Coast region, Echidna Grass is particularly well suited to Brisbane's subtropical climate. Unlike many drought-tolerant plants that struggle with humid conditions, this hardy little Lomandra tolerates hot, wet summers as well as cooler, frosty winters. Its compact size makes it perfect for rockeries, garden borders, mass planting, native gardens and decorative containers.

Thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts to most soil types, although good drainage is beneficial. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires very little maintenance. Apply a slow-release fertiliser suitable for native plants every three months during active growth, and lightly trim occasionally to maintain its attractive rounded shape.
