Platt's Black New Zealand Flax

Phormium ‘Platt’s Black ’ is a striking, architectural flax with deep, near‑black sword-like leaves that add instant drama to any landscape. Tough, evergreen, and low‑maintenance, it thrives in sun, handles coastal conditions, and delivers bold contrast in borders, containers, and modern garden designs. Thrives in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade and requires regular watering, especially during the growing season. It is low-maintenance, needing occasional pruning to remove dead or damaged leaves and protection from severe frost.
