Phormium, also known as New Zealand Flax, are bold, evergreen architectural plants loved for their long, sword-shaped leaves and dramatic presence. Available in a range of colours — from rich greens and bronzes to striking pinks, reds, and yellows — Phormium adds instant structure, movement, and a touch of the tropics to any garden.
These hardy, low-maintenance plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating wind, coastal conditions, and even periods of drought. Perfect for borders, containers, or statement planting, they’re ideal for modern gardens, coastal designs, or mixed with softer perennials for contrast and texture.
Popular varieties include Phormium ‘Sundowner’, ‘Pink Stripe’, and ‘Yellow Wave’, all prized for their colourful, arching leaves and resilience. Whether used as a focal point or grouped for dramatic effect, Phormium delivers year-round impact with minimal care — a true garden showstopper.
