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.
