Notes
'Jester' New Zealand flax (Phormium 'Jester') is a perennial for borders, containers, and foliage accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It stays evergreen, so it adds color and arching form all year. The flowers are not showy, so you grow it for its leaves.
Pairs well with Century plant, Lemongrass, and Gerbera daisy.
