Cream Delight New Zealand Flax – Dramatic Variegated Foliage Year-Round

Cream Delight New Zealand Flax

A architectural masterpiece, Phormium 'Cream Delight' features dramatic, sword-like leaves with green margins edged in red and a broad, creamy-yellow midstripe. This evergreen perennial adds bold color, texture, and structure to the landscape 365 days a year.

Use as a striking accent, in mass plantings, or as a container specimen. Tolerates full sun to partial sun with moderate moisture. Reaches 2 feet tall (in this dwarf form) but spreads 4–7 feet wide. Foliage is excellent for cut arrangements. A Richard Shiell photo favorite.
