Phormium Tenax 'Dark Delight' (Dark Delight New Zealand Flax)

Phormium Tenax 'Dark Delight' is a bold architectural evergreen prized for its dramatic deep burgundy to almost black sword-like foliage. Forming a dense, upright clump, it provides outstanding colour contrast and year-round structure, making it an excellent focal point or accent in modern, coastal, and native-inspired landscapes. During summer, tall flower spikes bearing tubular reddish flowers rise above the foliage, attracting nectar-feeding birds.

Highly adaptable and easy to grow, this hardy flax thrives in a wide range of conditions, including coastal gardens and dry landscapes once established. Ideal for feature planting, borders, mass plantings, and large containers, it offers exceptional durability with minimal maintenance, making it a reliable choice for residential and commercial landscapes alike.
