It grows best and produces the most intense leaf colourings when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It will tolerate frost, coastal conditions, wind, poor soils, and cool climates. Phormium ‘Surfer Bronze’ is a versatile variety of Flax that makes a fantastic addition to mixed plantings, borders, or coastal gardens, and is commonly planted around water features, pool, and barbecue areas, or grown in a container.
