PHORMIUM TENAX VARIEGATUM DUETTE

Phormium tenax ‘Variegatum Duette’ is an evergreen ornamental variety belonging to the Hemerocallidaceae family, selected for its erect, ribbon-like foliage with highly decorative variegation: the center of the leaves is a deep olive green, bordered by broad creamy-pink margins, with shades that tend to a more pronounced pink in good exposure. The plant forms dense, upright clumps, with orderly growth and evergreen foliage that provides structure and color year-round. Flowering, rare in cultivation, may appear in mature specimens, with tall, branched stems and tubular, reddish-brown flowers. Phormium ‘Duette’ is particularly popular for use in containers, borders, and architectural compositions, thanks to its combination of hardiness, resistance to adverse conditions, and consistent ornamental value.
