Lomandra confertifolia spp. rubiginosa 'Olive Green' PP32,803 (Highlight Olive Green Matt Rush) – A small to midsize clumping grass-like plant that grows 18 to 24 inches tall by 2 feet tall by 2 to 3 feet wide with narrow weeping olive green colored leaves and small sweetlyfragran male yellow flowers held nearly hidden among the foliage. Plant in full sun to part shade in a well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally to infrequently. Should prove hardy to moderate frost and temperatures down to 15°F and useful in gardens down to USDA Zone 8. This new cultivar should prove to be useful in mass as a groundcover, an accent plant or in a container. This plant is part of a series bred by Joseph Murray of Longview Plant Research that also includes a gray plant similar to Seascape and a unique bronze cultivar, but olive green one definitely the strongest grower. We first received plants of the Highlight Series in May 2017 through a trial with PlantHaven and this was originally coded as 'Losgr-1'.  Information displayed on this page about  Lomandra confertifolia 'Olive Green' PP32,803 is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
