Phormium Anna Red

Phormium ‘Anna Red’ is a striking evergreen New Zealand flax admired for its rich red-bronze foliage and elegant upright habit. This colourful selection brings bold structure and year-round interest to gardens, making it a standout choice for contemporary landscapes, native planting schemes and low-maintenance outdoor spaces.

The arching sword-like leaves develop intense red and burgundy tones that become even richer in full sun, creating dramatic contrast against green foliage and flowering plants. Compact yet impactful, Phormium ‘Anna Red’ is ideal for borders, mass planting, feature pots and modern garden designs where texture and colour are key.

Like many NZ flax plants, this hardy cultivar performs exceptionally well in New Zealand conditions, tolerating wind, dry periods and coastal environments once established. Mature plants may also produce tall flower spikes in summer that attract tūī and other nectar-feeding birds.

Easy to grow and highly versatile, Phormium ‘Anna Red’ delivers year-round colour with minimal maintenance.
