Phormium 'Amazing Red' is a small variety of flax growing only 2-3 feet tall with upright narrow dark reddish-brown leaves. Makes a great container plant and provides excellent contrast to other plant forms and colors. Can tolerate fairly dry conditions but appears more lush with regular watering. Plant in full sun or light shade.
How big does Amazing Red New Zealand Flax grow?
It usually grows 2–3 feet tall and wide, forming a compact, upright clump of sword-like leaves with rich burgundy-red tones.
What kind of light and soil does it prefer?
Full sun brings out its best color, though it tolerates light shade. It loves well-draining soil and handles coastal conditions like a champ.
Does it flower?
Occasionally, mature plants produce tall spikes of tubular red-orange flowers in summer, but it’s mostly grown for its dramatic foliage.
How should I maintain or prune it?
Remove old or damaged leaves at the base to keep it neat. Avoid cutting across the leaves — they don’t grow back from the tips.
