Phormium spp.: Characteristics and Care
The Phormium spp., popularly known as New Zealand flax, comprises various Phormium species and varieties, valued for their rigid, elongated, sword-shaped leaves, in a wide range of colors and combinations.
Their structural foliage and clump-forming habit make them a highly versatile option for both mass plantings and contemporary compositions, as well as low-maintenance gardens.
It tolerates moderate drought well once established and adapts to various soil types, provided it has good drainage.
At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
