The colourful, strap-shaped foliage of this new phormium is a luscious blend of warm apricot-pink and greyish green, and forms an attractive, fountain-like clump. This eye-catching specimen can be used as a highly-effective focal point in mixed planting schemes or in a pot or container on the patio - and the sprays of summer flowers are a bonus!
Protect with a mulch of well-rotted organic matter and horticultural fleece over the winter. In late spring, remove any dead or damaged leaves.
