Phormium cookianum is a hardy New Zealand native found from sea level to lower alpine regions. It features broad, gracefully drooping green foliage and produces tall flower stalks with yellowish-orange blossoms in summer, which are highly attractive to native birds.

This tough, adaptable plant is ideal for hillsides, banks, river edges and containers, thriving in full sun to part shade. Evergreen and low-maintenance, it adds structural interest and natural beauty to a variety of garden settings.

A reliable choice for native plantings and restoration projects, combining resilience with ecological value.
