black flax
Black flax is a distinctive and dramatic perennial native to New Zealand, prized by gardeners for its rich, near-black foliage that brings stunning contrast and bold architectural structure to plantings. Whether used as a statement feature in contemporary landscapes or to add evergreen texture to mixed borders, black flax offers year-round impact with its upright, sword-like leaves and resilience in a variety of garden settings. Its adaptability to coastal gardens, resilience to wind and salt spray, and natural disease resistance make black flax a favourite choice for New Zealand gardens and landscaping projects, both large and small.
Phormium tenax
Phormium tenax, commonly known as the NZ flax or Harakeke, is a flax plant that produces erect, green, sword-like leaves. Stems rise above the foliage in summer to bear twisted-looking flowers that result in black seed pods in autumn, and the nectar produced by the flowers attracts both birds and butterflies.
