Phormium, commonly known as New Zealand flax, is a genus of plants native to New Zealand. These plants are valued for their ornamental foliage, and are popular in gardens around the world. In this article, we will discuss two Phormium varieties: Phormium 'Pink Stripe' and Phormium 'Alison Blackman'.

Phormium 'Pink Stripe' is a striking plant with bold, pink and green striped leaves. It can grow up to 5 feet tall and 6 feet wide, and is a popular choice for adding color and texture to gardens. This variety of Phormium is hardy and can tolerate a range of soil types, as long as they are well-draining. It prefers full sun to partial shade, and requires regular watering during the summer months. 'Pink Stripe' can be used as a specimen plant or in groupings to create a dramatic effect in the landscape.

Phormium 'Alison Blackman' is another popular variety, with dark, almost black, foliage that has a slightly glossy appearance. This plant can grow up to 4 feet tall and 6 feet wide, and is also tolerant of a range of soil types, as long as they are well-draining. It prefers full sun to partial shade, and requires regular watering during the summer months. 'Alison Blackman' can be used as a focal point in the garden, or as part of a mixed planting for contrast.

Both Phormium 'Pink Stripe' and Phormium 'Alison Blackman' are easy to grow and maintain, and are suitable for a range of garden styles, from modern to traditional. They are also suitable for coastal gardens, as they are tolerant of salt spray and windy conditions.
