Cheery bright-green leaves with creamy yellow margins make Phormium ‘Duet’ a popular choice for landscape contractors, designers and architects. At 2’ tall and wide, this dwarf cultivar is the perfect size for pocket gardens or planted in masses. Its stiff leaves form an open cluster from which spires of yellow flowers bloom. ‘Duet’ is cold hardy to 15° F and tolerant of coastal conditions. Plant Phormium ‘Duet’ in full sun to part shade, and provide low to regular water. 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.
