Phormium
Pink Stripe ~ New Zealand Flax |
| Phormium Pink Stripe will
make a statement in most any yard. This New Zealand Flax grows to 6
feet or more tall and wide. The colorful pink to bronze/green
variegated leaves fade a bit as they age. So trimming out the older
foliage will keep the plants looking fresh. Phormium's flower in the
Summer but the flowers fade quickly and are dwarfed by the foliage.
The part of the plant that flowered dies and should be cut out as it
produces new starts from the base. Phormium Pink Stripe is tolerant
of a wide variety of soil types but will not tolerate soggy
conditions. Phormium grows well at the coast in full sun and seems
to like a little protection further inland. Phormium Pink Stripe is
Winter hardy to the mid teens.
