  • Notes

New Zealand Flax is an excellent accent plant for the garden. Evergreen leaves are long, narrow, and grow upright. Clusters of flowers grow on spikes above the foliage in late spring and summer. 'Rainbow Warrier' grows 3-4' tall, 5-6' wide. Leaves are darker salmon, turning cream as they age. Foliage turns deep red in winter.
