Phormium cookianum 'Duette' is a compact and ornamental flax cultivar from New
\nZealand, appreciated for its variegated foliage with light tones and for its elegant and sinuous
\nhabit. It is an evergreen plant with a strong decorative value,
\nideal for creating points of light in flowerbeds, mixed borders or potted compositions.
\nThe leaves, ribbon-like and slightly arched, are long, soft and arranged in a fan shape.
\nThe colour is one of the most distinctive aspects of this variety: the centre of the leaves is
\na pale green with cream or light yellow tones, bordered by darker olive green margins.
\nThis delicate but visible contrast gives the plant a natural brightness,
\ncapable of enlivening even the most sober compositions.
\n'Duette' has an orderly and moderate growth, with a maximum height of
\naround 80\u2013100 cm, making it suitable even for small spaces or for
\ncontainer cultivation. The habit is slightly expanded, with leaves that bend gracefully
\noutwards, giving the plant a soft and harmonious appearance.
\nFlowering is a rare event in cultivation, but when it does occur, it occurs in
\nsummer with tall and rigid stems that carry tubular flowers of a reddish or coppery
\ncolor. However, the main ornamental value remains linked to the beauty and stability of the variegated foliage throughout
\nthe year.
\nPhormium cookianum 'Duette' prefers positions in full sun or partial shade and grows
\nwell in well-drained soil. It is a rustic plant, which tolerates exposure to wind and saltiness, making it ideal for coastal gardens. Once well-rooted,
\nit resists short periods of drought and can tolerate moderate cold temperatures, but in
\nareas subject to prolonged frosts, winter protection is advisable.
\nFor its discreet elegance, light color and ease of management, Phormium
\n'Duette' is perfect for bright compositions, combinations with herbaceous perennials and
\ngrasses, or as a contrasting element in contemporary and Mediterranean gardens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
