Flax lily 'Duet' 180MM

Phormium tenax 'Duet'

I am Flax lily 'Duet'. My family originated from New Zealand.

Habit Strappy - Year Round Colour

Plant family Asphodelaceae

I am a dwarf Phormium with yellow edged dramatic sword shaped leaves with a bright green wide stripe down the centre. Incredibly hardy I am favoured to add structure and architectural form to the garden. Adaptable I will perform well in pots and other containers providing options in hard landscapes. In spring through to summer I produce 900mm flower spikes with yellow bird attracting blooms. I am a great feature plant in the garden either singly or in groups. I perform well in almost all soils and conditions. Low maintenance the occasional removal of old leaves will improve my appearance.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

I have a clumping habit with green strappy foliage edged creamy white
