Phormium ‘Pink Stripe’ is a bold and colorful New Zealand Flax that brings strong structure and a unique pop of color to the landscape. Its upright, strap like leaves feature a blend of dusty green, bronze, and soft pink striping, creating a subtle but eye catching effect that shifts slightly with the light.

The foliage has a clean, architectural form, making it a great focal point or accent plant in both modern and more eclectic garden designs. Its upright habit adds height and structure without taking up a large footprint.

While it is primarily grown for its foliage, mature plants may occasionally produce tall flower spikes with tubular blooms that can attract birds, adding another layer of seasonal interest.

Phormium ‘Pink Stripe’ performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well drained soil. It is drought tolerant once established, though it will look its best with occasional deep watering, especially during hotter periods. It also handles coastal conditions well, including wind and salt exposure.

It typically grows 3 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, forming a strong, upright clump. It is well suited for USDA zones 8 through 11 and is hardy down to around 20 to 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The foliage is evergreen.

This plant has low toxicity and is generally a safe choice for gardens with pets and children.

The flowers can attract pollinators, and the plant may also attract birds when in bloom.

It is generally deer and rabbit resistant, making it a dependable option for low maintenance landscapes.

Phormium ‘Pink Stripe’ is especially well suited for modern, coastal, and Mediterranean style gardens.

With its striking color, upright form, and easy care nature, this flax is a great way to add structure and visual interest to a wide range of landscape styles.
