Marie's Gardening BlogPlant of the Week: Phormium (New Zealand Flax) Phormium is a spiky, spectacular, sword-leafed evergreen perennial that makes a striking garden focal point or specimen plant. Some are small enough to use in containers, others can reach several feet in diameter and 7+ feet tall. The new hybrids dazzle in the garden in shades of pink, bronze, rich reds and dramatic stripes. If you’re looking for a standout plant, consider growing Phormium.
