Description
Phormium tenax is a robust, ornamental plant known for its long, slender, arching leaves that create a dramatic vertical statement in the garden. The leaves are typically deep green but can also come in hues of bronze, red, or yellow, depending on the cultivar. In late spring to early summer, the plant produces tall spikes of tubular flowers that range from red to yellow, attracting pollinators like birds and bees.
Preferring full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil, Phormium tenax is well-suited for coastal gardens, dry landscapes, or as part of modern or tropical garden designs. Hardy in USDA zones 8-10, it is relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. Whether used as a specimen plant, in mass plantings, or as part of a border, Phormium tenax adds vibrant color, structure, and visual interest to any landscape.
