Phormium Jester, a New Zealand Flax cultivar, is a clump-forming, herbaceous, evergreen perennial with slender, gently arching, sword-like, variegated, coral-pink leaves with green stripes, and inconspicuous, red, tubular, flowers on leafless, upright stems in summer. New Zealand Flax ‘Jester’ thrives in average to rich, consistently moist, well-drained soils, in full sun to partial shade. It doesn’t tolerate poor, heavy and waterlogged soils. It can withstand some winter cold, but frost can damage the foliage. It is tolerant of sea spray and wind, but needs to be sheltered from harsh, drying winter winds. Too much heat can cause leaf scorch or bleaching. Generally, disease-free. Low maintenance plant, doesn’t require much pruning. Phormium Jester is an impressive, exotic-looking, colourful perennial, perfect for coastal, tropical, rock and gravel, and urban gardens. Great as a specimen plant or planted in masses in shrub borders or as a contrasting plant. Suitable for growing in containers.
