Evening Glow New Zealand Flax (Phormium 'Evening Glow') is a compact, clump-forming evergreen perennial prized for its vibrant sword-like foliage. It has bright reddish-pink leaves edged with deep bronze or reddish-purple margins.
Available as extra large quart
It thrives outdoors year-round in USDA Zones 8 through 11. It tolerates brief temperatures down to around 15°F to 20°F, though severe cold can damage the foliage. Expect a mature height of 3 to 4 feet and a spread of 4 to 5 feet. Its upright, slightly arching habit makes it much more compact than standard species flax.
Plant it in full sun to partial shade in well-draining soil. While it tolerates coastal salt spray and moderate drought once established, it maintains its richest leaf color with occasional to regular watering during dry summer months. Deer resistant. Adaptable and grows well in slightly acidic to neutral soils (roughly pH 5.5 to 7.0). Good drainage matters much more to its health than exact soil acidity.
