Description:
The leaves of Phormium tenax Flashdance will provide a multi-coloured accent of cream, green and pinky-apricot in gardens all year long. Its leaves change colour from season to season, where in summer more cream is present, and in winter there is more pink. So its colour "flashes" and changes during the year. Their long upright pointed leaves allow you to create great effects in Mediterranean, tropical and formal styled gardens. They contrast superbly with shaped hedges, conjuring a relaxed and stylish look. Grows 1m tall x 80cm wide.
