Phormium Black Rage Details

Phormium Black Rage is a dwarf variety of Flax that produces sword-like leaves that are coloured smoky, dark grey with a distinct silver-blue underside. This variety typically grows to 80 cm tall and the same wide with a tidy and compact habit. It grows best and produces the most intense leaf colourings when planted in full sun on a well-drained site, and tolerates frost, coastal conditions, wind, poor soils, and cool climates. Phormium Black Rage is a versatile variety that makes a fantastic addition to mixed plantings, borders, and coastal gardens. It is commonly planted around water features and other living areas such as pool and barbecue areas. It is also well suited for mass planting on a bank and in these situations provides an impressive display.
