Phormium 'Evening Glow'
CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
Wharariki. Medium perennial with erect bright red-pink leathery sword-like leaves. Older leaves develop a spreading drooping habit. Tall stems up to 2 metres tall 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. Best in fertile soil to maintain the best colour. The colourful foliage looks great against green and silver foliage.
