Phormium cookianum ssp, hookeri 'Cream Delight'
CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
Wharariki. Large perennial with long leathery erect sword like leaves with drooping tips, arranged in fans. The leaves have a broad band of cream in the centre edged by dark green and cream. Tall stems 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 maintain the best colour. Selected by Margaret Jones of Tauranga.
