Description
The Phormium, also known as New Zealand Flax, is a dramatic, upright plant known for its long, sword-like leaves that grow in dense clumps. This variety, grown in a nursery grow bag, stands around 1.5 feet high, already showing off its bold architectural form. The leaves are typically green or bronze-toned (sometimes variegated), and they arch outwards from the base, creating a strong visual statement in any setting.
Phormium is perfect for modern landscapes, planters, terrace gardens, or poolside arrangements. It thrives in full sun to semi-shade, is highly drought-tolerant once established, and requires minimal care. Its strong, spiky form also makes it excellent for adding structure and contrast among softer-looking plants.
This plant is especially valued for its resilience, upright symmetry, and year-round greenery. Whether used as a border plant or in large containers, phormium delivers bold texture without demanding much time or water.
