Because
of the tropica craze, because of the inte3rest in color and because of
the interest in unusual looking plants New Zealand Flax is becoming
more and more popula. There are aq tremendous variety becoming
available4.
We just added a collection of three variegated flax mfrom Hines Nurseries. The all have foliage striped in bronze, red, pink and gold tones. the colorings are truly diferent than anything you have seen . Great as containers or in the ground as a tropical accent.
Rainbows Sunrise is a larger form again with bronze, red and pink stripes. This time on foliage that is more sword like. It grows from 3-6 ft tall.
Rainbow Queen is another new variety very similar to Rainbow Sunrise. It has slight diferences in the coloring of the foliage.
They prefer sun and good drainage. They all will make great container plants. We also havbe a good selection of other varieties. From the tiny Jack Spratt to the very large Pink Stripe. |
