I am New Zealand Flax. My family originated from New Zealand

Botanic Name: Phormium tenax

Clumping/Strappy – Ideal for mass planting

I am a dramatic architectural plant with tough sword shaped leaves.

My foliage is commonly green and cream but I have varieties in a range of colours including yellows, reds and even black.

In spring through to summer I produce very large dark flower spikes with red bird attracting blooms.

I am a great feature plant in the garden either singly or in groups.

My upright habit means I can be an effective screening option.
