Whether you're planting a modern landscape, creating a native garden, or looking for hardy architectural plants, our range of New Zealand flax plants includes compact varieties through to large statement forms.

At CJ’s, we grow a range of New Zealand flax varieties, from bold upright Phormiums to softer, colourful forms ideal for borders, mass planting, landscaping and pots. Whether you are planting New Zealand flax for a modern garden, native-inspired landscape, shelter, or a hardy feature plant, flaxes are a reliable choice for NZ conditions.

Flax plants are loved for their strappy foliage, strong clumping habit and ability to handle wind, coastal conditions and dry periods once established. Many varieties also produce tall flower spikes that attract birds and add height to the garden.

Shop our range of flax plants NZ wide, including colourful Phormium varieties, mountain flax styles, harakeke-inspired forms and hardy bush flax options for home gardens and landscaping projects.

Why Grow Flax?

Flax is a fantastic choice if you want a plant that looks good year-round without needing constant attention. These hardy plants are ideal for:

  • Borders and garden structure
  • Mass planting and landscaping
  • Wind-tolerant gardens
  • Native and coastal-style gardens
  • Low-maintenance planting schemes

Planting New Zealand Flax

Plant New Zealand flax in full sun to part shade in free-draining soil. Water well while establishing, then enjoy a tough, easy-care plant that can handle dry spells better than many ornamentals.

Trim away old or damaged leaves at the base to keep your flax bush looking tidy. Most flaxes need very little fuss once settled in.
