Description
Originating in New Zealand, Phormium Yellow Wave is an evergreen perennial which forms a huge clump of long arching leaves. The long, sword-shaped leaves, up to a metre long, are green with a broad yellow stripe, like a splash of sunlight in the garden. This is a plant to grow for its magnificent architectural quality; the spikes of red flowers may not produce, but could surprise you in a hot summer. New Zealand flax Yellow Wave does well in seaside conditions, but needs winter protection in colder parts of the country.
