Lomandra 'Miners Gold'

Planting:

• Lomandra 'Miners Gold' thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Avoid areas prone to waterlogging, as it dislikes sitting in excess moisture.
• If your soil is heavy or clay-based, improve drainage by mixing in grit, sand, or organic matter like compost.
• Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and place the plant at the same depth it was in the pot. Backfill with soil and firm it down gently.
• After planting, give the plant a deep soak to help settle the roots into their new home.

Planting in a Pot:

• Choose a large pot with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. A pot at least 30cm in diameter will give the roots room to establish.
• A mix of multi-purpose compost with added grit or perlite works well to prevent waterlogging.
• Place the plant at the same level as it was in its nursery pot and backfill with compost, pressing it in firmly.
• After planting, water thoroughly and allow excess moisture to drain away.

Aftercare Advice:

• Lomandra is very drought-tolerant and only needs occasional watering in prolonged dry periods.
• Container-grown plants dry out more quickly, so check the soil moisture weekly and water when the top few centimetres feel dry.
• Hardy to -10C, Lomandra 'Miners Gold' can withstand frost but may benefit from a mulch layer around the base in very harsh winters.
• Container plants are more vulnerable to frost - Move pots to a sheltered spot or wrap them in fleece during severe cold snaps.
• Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser once in spring and again in mid-summer to promote healthy foliage and strong growth.
• If growing in a container, a slow-release fertiliser applied in spring will ensure nutrients are available over a longer period.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
