Phormium Joker Details

Phormium tenax Joker is a variety of Flax that produces long and broad, sword-like leaves that are green with a pink margin. Tall stems rise above the foliage to bear orange or yellow flowers in summer which are great for attracting birds. This variety typically grows to 1.3 m 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. It will tolerate frost, coastal conditions, wind, poor soils, moderate shade, and cool climates. Phormium Joker is a versatile plant that makes a fantastic addition to mixed plantings and borders, using in coastal gardens, planting to accentuate water features such as ponds and streams, or growing around pool and barbecue areas. It is also well suited for mass planting on a bank and in these situations provides an impressive display.
