Description
A splendid phormium that has broad grey-green leaves with a creamy yellow margin and, ultimately, a fine band of red. The leaves are spreading and somewhat lax so it is much less dramatic than its spiky relatives. It has yellowish flowering panicles, which mature in late summer and reach over 1m in height.
