Description

Apricot Queen New Zealand Flax is a vibrant and colorful cultivar that brings warm, sunset hues to the garden. Its upright, sword-like leaves are a soft, creamy apricot-yellow, edged in a narrow band of green. The foliage takes on a richer peach or orange blush in cooler weather. Forming a compact, architectural clump, it provides year-round color and texture. While mature plants may produce tall spikes of reddish flowers, its primary value is its stunning, evergreen foliage that brightens borders, containers, or coastal landscapes.

• Warm Apricot & Green Foliage: Features striking leaves in a soft apricot-yellow color with contrasting dark green margins.

• Cool Weather Color Enhancement: Foliage develops a more intense peach or orange tone during the cooler months for seasonal interest.

• Compact, Upright Architectural Form: Grows in a dense, well-behaved clump, providing strong vertical lines and structure.

• Drought, Salt & Wind Tolerant: Once established, it thrives in full sun, tolerates coastal conditions, and requires minimal water.

• Deer Resistant & Low-Maintenance: Foliage is unpalatable to deer and requires no pruning except to remove old leaves.
