Phormium (New Zealand Flax) 'Evening Glow'
Sword shaped leaves in rich sunset tones of copper, bronze and rose create a warm glow in borders, as if capturing the last light of day. The striking foliage maintains its vibrant colour throughout the seasons, developing more intense hues in cooler weather. Upright in habit yet more compact than many other types, it forms an architectural clump perfect for containers or smaller gardens where space is limited. Exceptionally resilient to coastal winds and urban pollution, it thrives in sunny spots with well drained soil while adding year round structure. Perfect for creating focal points in contemporary plantings, the warm toned leaves combine beautifully with purple foliage plants or silver leaved companions. A standout choice for adding drama to Mediterranean inspired schemes or modern courtyard gardens where its colourful presence can be admired.
