Description Fine Print
 
Phormium have cornered the market on structure and drama which is likely why they're so popular. 'Jester' is an unmistakable cultivar with broad reddish-pink leaves edged in contrasting olive green. New Zealand Flax usually sail through our coastal BC winters but benefit from a mulch of leaves at their base and having their foliage tied up to help it resist heavy snowfalls. In colder climates, grow in pots and bring indoors to a frost-free environment.
