Botanical Name: Phormium ‘Pink Stripe’

📌 Product Description

Phormium ‘Pink Stripe’ is a striking evergreen ornamental foliage plant valued for its upright, sword-like leaves marked with soft pink, cream, and green variegation. The colourful striped foliage adds a bright architectural accent to the garden and remains attractive throughout the year.

This compact to medium-sized New Zealand Flax forms a tidy clump and works beautifully in containers, mixed borders, and contemporary landscapes. Its variegated foliage provides excellent contrast against darker green or bronze plants and creates a fresh, modern look in outdoor spaces.

Hardy and low maintenance, Phormium ‘Pink Stripe’ performs well in a wide range of South African conditions and is a reliable year-round foliage feature.
