Common Name: New Zealand Flax
New Zealand Flax, or Phormium, is a handsome long-lived evergreen shrub that forms bold clumps of elongated sword-shaped leaves. The attractive, often colourful foliage looks good all year, and makes the perfect foil for other plants in borders, raised beds, gravel gardens and pots. It has a wide range of leaf colours, including olive-green, purple, yellow, cream, red and apricot variegations, in wide or fine stripes.

| Extra Info: | Phormiums may be slow to establish in very light, dry soils. On wet soils, the roots can suffer in the winter months. The leaves can also be severely damage by hard frost, so winter protection may be needed in cold snaps. |
