Phormium cookianum 'Purpurea' (purple mountain flax)

Phormium cookianum 'Purpurea' is a striking NZ native flax featuring rich bronze-purple foliage and a graceful, arching habit. Its bold colour and flowing form make it a standout choice for adding contrast, texture and year-round interest to Queenstown and Central Otago gardens. This hardy variety suits native plantings, modern landscapes, mass planting and low-maintenance garden designs.

'Purpurea' typically grows to 1-1.5m tall and 1.5-2m wide, forming a broad, weeping clump that brings movement and depth to the landscape. It thrives in full sun to part shade, tolerates wind, frost and dry conditions once established, and performs reliably in exposed or difficult sites.

Choose Phormium cookianum 'Purpurea' for a tough, colourful NZ native flax that provides strong visual impact and consistent performance in Central Otago conditions.
