Description

New Zealand Flax does send up a nice flower stalk with red or yellow flowers in mid-summer, but it is predominately grown for its foliage.

Light: Full sun to partial shade. Since you are growing your New Zealand Flax for its foliage, not its flowers, full sun is not crucial. In fact, in hotter climates, your plant may do better with a little afternoon shade.

Water: Keep the plant well-watered in summer’s heat, but don’t allow it to sit in wet soil for a prolonged period of time. New Zealand Flax can be grown indoors, either as a houseplant or under lights. It prefers cool temperatures in winter, but lots of sunlight.

Soil: New Zealand Flax prefers a rich, moist soil and a location sheltered from harsh winds, but once established, the plants really aren’t fussy about conditions.
