Phormium Flax Shiraz

Phormium tenax 'Shiraz,' commonly known as Flax, is a striking ornamental plant prized for its vibrant burgundy-red foliage and graceful arching habit. This evergreen perennial adds a bold splash of color to garden landscapes. To cultivate Phormium Flax Shiraz, choose a well-draining soil and a sunny location, although it can tolerate partial shade. Plant in spring or early autumn, spacing them adequately to accommodate their mature size.

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture. Fertilize in spring with a balanced fertilizer. Prune any damaged or dead leaves to maintain a tidy appearance. This hardy plant is resistant to many pests and diseases. With proper care, Phormium Flax Shiraz can reach a height of 4-5 feet and spread up to 6 feet. Its low maintenance and striking aesthetics make it an excellent choice for adding drama to gardens, borders, or containers.
