Phormium Black Rage
Phormium 'Black Rage'
A stunning rich, smokey, dark-grey dwarf flax, with leaf undersides in a distinct silvery blue. It holds its colour well and foliage weeps to form a stylish clump; at home in garden or pot - where it grows quickly to fill a spot or gap. Bold summer flowers attract native birds.
A versatile and distinguished wine-red architectural plant with a distinctive black leaf margin and midrib. Silver-grey leaf under side further highlight this slection of our native flax. Plant in full sun or part shade. Tolerant of dry spells. Grows 1.8m X 80cm.
A stunning non-fading rich, dark-purple dwarf flax. It's an accent plant; proud, with a tidy and broad clumping habit that's at home in garden or pot - where it grows quickly to fill a spot or gap. En masse it's great for landscape use, new gardens and erosion control. Summer flowers attract native birds.
Beautiful NZ flax with warm tonings to highlight any garden - a kaleidoscope of colour - green younger leaves mature to salmon pink that fade yellow as they age. An upright and tidy grower that's at home in garden or pot - where it grows quickly to fill a spot or gap. En masse it's great for new gardens and erosion control.
A compact tidy and colourful subject which is both quick and easy to grow. Striking bright white and green variegated leaves blend in well in any garden situation. Wind tolerant. Suitable for any good freely drained garden soil. Evergreen. Hardy. Grows 1.5 x 1m.
A very refreshing New Zealand native. Quickly forms a dense, small to medium pyramidal-shaped shrub with masses of small, fresh, green leaves. The foliage is a fresh green, looks attractive year round and is especially useful in floral arrangements providing body or background.
Something a little different in the popular sweet-pea-bush, a compact grower with glaucous leaves and rich pink/purple flowers. This evergreen shrub tolerates poor soils and dry conditions. A light clip early in spring will encourage new growth and a spring flush of flowers that will last until summer, and repeatedly spot flower almost all year round. Lovely contrast with white-flowered underplantings.
Highly decorative native shrub with distinctive lobed leaves in a glossy rich green. Excellent landscape feature, avenue or background plant. Perfect in a group or mingled among other foliage plants, bringing something of a sub-tropical look. Makes a good tub plant for a year or two when it's readily transplanted to the garden.
Showy multi-branched and bushy shrub with richly coloured variegated foliage; whorls of glossy leaves in splashes of forest green, lime and yellow. An impressive picture and indispensable in a modern landscape. Makes a good tub plant for a year or two when it's readily transplanted to the garden.
Showy multi-branched and bushy shrub with dark shiny purple to bronze leaves in whorls of five. Really looks a picture. Indispensible in a modern landscape as a feature plant or background. Makes a good tub plant for a year or two when it's readily transplanted to the garden.
