Variegated Phormium (New Zealand Flax)

Variegated Phormium (Phormium tenax or Phormium cookianum variegated cultivars) are some of the most striking architectural ornamental plants available, featuring bold, upright, sword-shaped leaves dramatically striped and edged in combinations of green, cream, yellow, pink, and red. Each cultivar has its own unique colour combination, and the vivid stripes catch and play with garden light beautifully throughout the day. These phormiums make outstanding focal points, container specimens, and structural anchors in mixed borders. They are tough, adaptable, drought-tolerant once established, and virtually maintenance-free.
