A Bit More

A favorite of designers for its rose-colored stripes, Phormium ‘Pink Stripe’ provides colorful interest in the landscape. Each fibrous leaf is a medium-to-olive green with generous stripes of a pleasing pink, and they look lovely in floral arrangements. This beauty stands at 5-6’ tall and wide with upright to arching leaves. Cold hardy to 15° F and tolerant of shade, drought, and coastal conditions, plant Phormium in full sun to part shade. From the ancient greek phormos, meaning wicker basket or mat, Phormiums are used by the indigenous Maori of New Zealand for woven baskets and mats, and the fibers are used for rope, fishing nets and clothing. Use Phormium ‘Pink Stripe’ as accents, in mixed borders, and in masses.
