Why Choose Harakeke Flax for Your Garden?

Harakeke flax (Phormium tenax) is an iconic New Zealand plant, prized for its adaptability and low maintenance. Its bold foliage adds year-round interest, creating outstanding focal points or lush shelter belts. Excellent for erosion control, harakeke thrives in a range of soils, from clay to sandy loam, and is equally at home along stream banks or in urban landscapes. The tall, sturdy flower stalks attract native birds and pollinators, making it a vital addition for those designing wildlife-friendly gardens.

Planting and Caring for Harakeke Flax
