Pink Stripe N.Z. Flax

Common name:Pink Stripe N.Z. Flax
Botanical name:Phormium 'Pink Stripe'

Phormium 'Pink Stripe' is an evergreen perennial. Big, dramatic plant composed of many swordlike, stiffly vertical leaves in a fan pattern. Leaves are olive-grey color with edgings of rose-pink. Flower stems reach high above leaves, bearing clusters of 1"-2" blossoms in dull red to yellow.

Woolly Yarrow

Common name:Woolly Yarrow
Botanical name:Achillea tomentosa

Short stems of flat-topped golden flowers accent the deep green, wooly, fern-like leaves of the mat formed by this plant. It is a fine performer in rock gardens and at the front of herbaceous perennial borders. Yarrows propagate easily from rooted stems or divisions, which should be performed in the early spring or fall. Following bloom, dead head the plant and divide the clumps when it appears crowded.
