Phormium ‘Rainbow Queen’ produces magnificent bronze-green colour foliage, with bright red edges and with cream stripes.

Ideal for planting in borders, beds, patio containers or creating a dramatic architectural display.

Spread: 1.5m (59in). Grow Phormium on fertile, well-drained soil. Choose a protected position in full sun.
