Product Description

Phormium 'Flamingo' is a stunning evergreen ornamental plant admired for its graceful, arching sword-shaped foliage beautifully variegated in shades of soft pink, cream, and green. Its elegant form and vibrant foliage provide year-round colour and architectural interest, making it an outstanding feature plant for contemporary gardens, borders, decorative pots, and commercial landscapes.

The striking foliage creates a beautiful contrast against flowering plants and darker green shrubs, adding texture, movement, and sophistication to any outdoor space. With its compact clumping growth habit, Phormium 'Flamingo' is ideal for courtyards, patios, entrance displays, and mixed landscape plantings.

Exceptionally hardy and low maintenance, this versatile ornamental flax is drought tolerant once established and thrives in a wide range of South African climates. It performs equally well as a standalone specimen or when planted in groups for a bold architectural effect.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
