Apricot Queen New Zealand Flax

Command attention with Phormium ‘Apricot Queen’, a striking, evergreen New Zealand Flax that brings year-round structure, color, and drama to your garden. Its long, sword-like leaves emerge in rich apricot tones, maturing to soft golden yellow with deep green margins, creating a dynamic, shifting display. Standing at 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, it forms an upright, fountain-like clump that delivers bold texture in garden beds, borders, and containers. Low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and salt-tolerant, this architectural gem is as tough as it is beautiful.

  • Light: Prefers full sun for the best foliage color; tolerates partial shade but may lose some vibrancy.
  • Soil: Loves well-drained soil—adapts to sandy, loamy, and slightly rocky soils.
  • Watering:
    • New Plants: Keep soil evenly moist until well established.
    • Established Plants: Highly drought-tolerant—occasional deep watering helps in extreme heat.
  • Fertilization: Minimal feeding needed; too much fertilizer can lead to floppy growth.
  • Maintenance:
    • Remove spent or damaged leaves for a clean look.
    • Cut back dead foliage in early spring to encourage fresh new growth.
    • In colder zones (USDA 8-9), apply mulch in winter to protect the roots from frost.
  • Pest & Disease Resistance:
    • Rarely affected by pests or diseases.
    • Excellent resistance to deer and rabbits.
  • Hardiness: Thrives in USDA zones 8-11tolerates cold snaps down to 10°F
