Features

Characteristics

Plant Needs

The Platinum Beauty® Lomandra is a striking evergreen grass prized for its flowing form, year-round color, and rugged adaptability. Its fine, arching foliage is variegated in deep green and creamy platinum white, creating a luminous effect in the landscape. Forming neat clumps about 2–3 feet tall and wide, it works equally well as a border plant, a mass planting, or a container accent. From autumn through spring, creamy-yellow flower spikes add subtle seasonal interest above the foliage.

Built for performance, Platinum Beauty thrives where many grasses struggle. Heat, drought, salt spray, and clay soils pose no problem, making it an excellent choice for poolside, slopes, and modern low-water landscapes. Its dense clumping habit and tough root system even make it effective for erosion control. Whether softening pathways, anchoring a rock garden, or adding contrast to darker foliage, Platinum Beauty delivers elegance with little effort.

Why We Love It

At Creekside, we love plants that look refined but act tough, and Platinum Beauty is exactly that. It offers the grace and lightness of an ornamental grass, yet shrugs off heat, drought, and tough soils. Its variegated foliage brings a platinum glow to the garden year-round, and its compact habit makes it versatile for almost any design style — from cottage to contemporary.
