purple flax
Purple flax is a striking, hardy New Zealand native renowned for its bold foliage and reliable performance in a range of garden settings. With its dramatic purple to bronze-leaved tufts reaching up to 2 metres high, purple flax lends fantastic structure, rich colour, and year-round vibrancy to landscapes both modern and naturalistic. Whether planted as a sculptural focal point, grouped for bold contrast, or woven through mixed perennial beds, purple flax brings drama to gardens, coastal plantings, and urban spaces. In addition to its visual appeal, purple flax is incredibly low maintenance, tolerates wind and salt, and is drought-hardy once established, making it ideal for challenging sites or busy gardeners.
