Phormium cookianum ssp, hookeri 'Emerald Green'
Wharariki. Medium perennial with bright green leathery erect sword like leaves arranged in fans. Tall stems up to 1 metre produce green tinged orange or yellow flowers in spring, loved by the Tuis for their abundant nectar. These are followed by pendulous twisted seed capsules. Very tolerant of many soils and conditions. Chose good fertile soil though to get best results.
