New Zealand Flax is a popular, bold ornamental grass prized for its striking, architectural structure and tough, upright foliage. Its long, sword-shaped leaves come in a vibrant array of colors, including bronze, red, yellow, and pink. This low-maintenance plant is ideal for both garden beds and containers, thriving in full sun with excellent drought tolerance once established. Depending on the variety, it can reach heights of up to 10 feet (3 meters).
