Plant in full sun to fairly deep shade in a well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally to infrequently. Hardy to moderate frost and useful in USDA Zones 9-11. This plant is a bit more upright and stiffer than Lomandra 'Seascape' and so far it has proven to be somewhat longer lived and more adaptable to California garden cultivation. Its form, color and durability should make this a great plant for a mass planting, a raised planter or large pot where the foliage can arch over to hide an edge.

Pacific Sky is a cultivar of Lomandra confertifolia spp. rubiginosa, a subspecies from open forest areas near Newcastle in New South Wales south to near the border with Victoria. It comes from Evan Clucas at Kuranga Native Nursery in Mount Evelyn, Victoria, who selected it from seedlings resulting from open pollinated Lomandra confertifolia subsp. rubiginosa. It with other selections made were trialed for several years in Australia in a root rot infested soil that is prone to kill Lomandra confertifolia, and this plant outperformed all others and was also selected for its clean and healthy foliage and dense habit. Pacific Sky was first released in the US in 2019 and is marketed here by the Dig Plant Company.
