Phormium Tenax ‘Yellow Wave’, or New Zealand Flex 'Yellow Wave', is a robust, clump-forming, evergreen perennial with elegant, leathery, long, strap-shaped, arching leaves, striped lime green, butter-yellow and creamy-white, and tubular, yellow flowers on long, upright stems. Does not flower until fully mature. New Zealand Flex 'Yellow Wave' is adaptable to a wide range of soils, including poor ones, but doesn’t like too wet or waterlogged.

It can withstand cold, but frost can damage the foliage. It should be protected from harsh winter winds. Dead or damaged leaves should be removed in spring to keep the plant neat. Generally, disease-free. Phormium Tenax ‘Yellow Wave’ is a wonderful ornamental plant, prefect a specimen or accent plant in coastal, cottage, urban and rock and gravel gardens. Great for beds and borders and for growing in containers.
