green flax
Green flax is a stunning and versatile native plant that brings year-round interest and structure to New Zealand gardens. Sought after for its upright, sword-shaped leaves with a vibrant green hue, green flax is both a hardy landscaping choice and a beautiful statement plant. Whether you’re designing a low-maintenance native garden, planting for privacy, or adding texture along ponds and streams, green flax is incredibly adaptable and reliable across a range of conditions.
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. Harakeke grows as a clump to about 2 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is a popular landscape option that is also often used to contrast with other plant colours. Mass planting on a bank not only provides an outstanding display but is also excellent for helping to stabilise the soil.
