Phormium BLONDIE. New Zealand Flax.

PHORMIUM Blondie

Commonly known as New Zealand Flax or occasionally as Flax Lily.

This brand-new cultivar was discovered on a nursery in Tauranga New Zealand in 2011 and is a sport of Phormium Cream Delight.

Phormium Blondie features narrow arching and twisting leaves with a broad creamy-yellow mid-stripe edged with chartreuse green and bordered with a thin greyish-purple outer margin.

Tall panicles or spikes of small, red, tubular flowers are produced in summer.

Blondie grows only 60cn tall and if left undisturbed will eventually form a clump around 1.5m wide.

Simply stunning when planted in pots where the unique weeping foliage will cascade beautifully over the edge of the container.

Great for a sunny patio or a courtyard garden and can also be used to help brighten dark or partially shaded areas of the garden, yet Phormium Blondie is also adaptable enough to be grown indoors.

Can be planted in full sun or part shade and prefers a moist but well drained soil but will tolerate coastal conditions.

Hardy to -10 but in areas prone to severe frost it would perhaps be best to move container grown plants of Blondie into a greenhouse or conservatory for the winter.

All pictures used are of mature plants in full bloom, they are for illustration purposes only and may not necessarily reflect plants at all times of the year.

Our plants are supplied ex. 9cm pots, they can be planted out immediately but better results may be obtained if they are grown on for a short time in a slightly larger container before transplanting to their final growing positions.

Plant Haven have a wonderful video on this super new variety.

Please remember, plant maintenance within our nursery is absolutely essential and means we need to prune back some items at certain times of the year to help maintain shape and encourage new growth.

We ask all our buyers to remember Phormium Blondie is a living item and its appearance changes with the seasons.  Please don’t panic if the plant you receive looks different to the image on the website. This is quite normal and not a matter for any worry or concern, it is likely to be in perfect condition for the time of year. Particularly in autumn and winter many shrubs will lose their leaves and look rather bare, gaunt and stick-like and from August onwards many perennial plants may not even be showing above the soil.

 We want you to be happy with your purchase and all our Phormium are checked and inspected visually before packing. In the unlikely event of a problem please advise us at sales@seedsplantsbulbs.com within 48hrs of delivery.  You can also notify us by telephone at 02879111497 or 02879417038. Due to the nature of the product we cannot accept any responsibility for their failure after planting as pests, disease, poor horticultural practice, extremes of weather and many other factors outside our control all take their toll.

Refunds will be issued after items are received back in a saleable condition within 14 days from original dispatch date.
