coastal flax
Coastal flax is one of New Zealand’s most iconic and versatile native plants. Renowned for its tolerance of tough seaside conditions, coastal flax thrives in salty winds, sandy soils, and harsh sunlight. Whether you’re designing a coastal garden, restoring a dune landscape, or seeking a hardy feature plant, coastal flax is a resilient and attractive choice. Its structural, sword-shaped leaves and graceful flower spikes add striking vertical interest, while supporting native birdlife and pollinators. As a low-maintenance, evergreen option, coastal flax is perfect for creating windbreaks, soil stabilisation, and lush green borders that persist year-round.

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.
