Why Choose Phormium Burgundy?

Phormium Burgundy stands out for its evergreen foliage—it retains its rich colour year-round, even as other plants fade.

Whether planted solo or en masse, this variety is also excellent in containers or as part of a mixed bed. Its tolerance for wind, salt, and dry soils makes it perfect for New Zealand’s unique climate.

Planting and Care Tips for Phormium Burgundy

Position Phormium Burgundy in full sun to partial shade for best colour intensity. It tolerates both sandy and clay soils, provided drainage is good. Once established, water only during extended dry spells; this plant is exceptionally drought-hardy. While Phormium Burgundy rarely needs pruning, you can remove any damaged or old leaves at the base to keep the plant looking tidy. Feeding annually with a slow-release fertilizer in spring encourages lush growth without compromising foliage colour.

Landscape Uses for Phormium Burgundy
