| Description | The green edged and striped, bright yellow leaves brighten and enhance any landscape. Use as an accent, specimen, container plant or backdrop to add unique color and texture to the landscape. Foliage is great for cut arrangements. Evergreen. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Summer |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Dramatic Foliage Color, Easy Care, Waterwise |
| Problems/Solutions | Coastal Exposure, Deer Resistant |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Landscape Use | Container, Poolside |
| Design Ideas | The two-toned striped leaves and architectural structure on this Flax are a welcome addition to mid-century modern and post modern compositions. Include in a tropical landscape amongst large leaf exotics and hot colored flowers or in the more formally structured Mediterannean garden. Use to soften building edges and as foundation planting. It's a powerful way to highlight important places in the garden. At home in a more naturalistic setting, plant in groups for a bold effect or in geometric designs for a contemporary look. Works particularly well around pools, ponds and rock waterfalls or as a potted specimen in a modern container. |
| Flower Color | Red |
| Foliage Color | Variegated |
| Care Instructions | Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. For a neat appearance, remove old foliage before new leaves emerge. Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in early spring. |
