Phormium tenax ‘Rubrum’ / Flax Rubrum

This striking evergreen perennial grass is known for its bold, upright form and vibrant burgundy foliage. The long, narrow, strap-like leaves create a dramatic vertical accent in the garden. In summer, it occasionally produces burgundy flowers on spikes that rise above the foliage. Adding architectural interest to the landscape, it is a great choice as a container plant. Thriving in full sun to light shade, it prefers well-drained, rich soils and is highly adaptable, tolerating coastal conditions and occasional drought once established. Ideal for use as a specimen plant, in containers, or as a focal point in borders, it adds year-round interest to any landscape.
