Phormium cookianum 'Rainbow Queen' is an evergreen flax cultivar from New
\nZealand with a great ornamental impact, known for its foliage with warm, streaked tones that
\nrecall the colors of the sunset. It is a plant with an architectural and vigorous appearance,
\nideal for creating bold color contrasts in modern, Mediterranean or exotic gardens.
\nThe leaves are long, ribbon-like and slightly curved, arranged in a fan shape in dense,
\ntidy tufts. The color is the distinctive feature of this variety: on a bronze or olive-green background,
\nlongitudinal streaks develop in various shades of pink, copper, cream and
\norange, creating an iridescent visual effect, particularly intense in direct sunlight. The
\nresult is a plant with a strong style, capable of attracting the eye and enhancing
\neven minimal compositions.
\n'Rainbow Queen' has a medium-sized development, generally reaching a height
\nof 1\u20131.2 meters and a similar width. The habit is slightly expanded, with leaves that
\ncurve elegantly outwards, while maintaining an orderly and
\nwell-structured shape even without pruning.
\nFlowering is an occasional event in cultivation and occurs, if present, during the
\nsummer with the appearance of erect flower stems that carry small reddish or coppery
\ntubular flowers.
\nHowever, the main ornamental value remains in the perennial foliage, decorative
\nthroughout the year.
\nPhormium 'Rainbow Queen' is a rustic and versatile plant. It adapts to different types of
\nsoil, as long as they are well drained, and prefers sunny or semi-shaded exposures. Tolerant
\nto saltiness and winds, it is particularly suitable for coastal gardens. Once well
\nrooted, it tolerates drought and high temperatures well. In areas with harsh winters it is
\nadvisable to protect it or grow it in a pot.<\/p>\n
For its bright color, environmental resistance and sculptural structure, Phormium
\ncookianum 'Rainbow Queen' is an excellent choice for those who want a
\nscenographic plant, easy to manage and of great decorative value during all seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
