Harakeke (Phormium Tenax), NZ Flax - 10 for $15.00
Phormium tenax (called flax in New Zealand English; harakeke in Maori; is an evergreen perennial plant native to New Zealand and Norfolk Island that is an important fibre plant and a popular ornamental plant. The plant grows as a clump of long, straplike leaves, up to three metres long, from which arises a much taller flowering shoot, with dramatic yellow or red flowers.
The fibre has been widely used since the arrival of Maori to New Zealand, originally in Maori traditional textiles/weaving and also in rope and sail making.
Common from lowland and coastal areas to montane forest, usually but not exclusively, in wetlands and in open ground along riversides.
These Harekeke seedlings are over 20 cm tall and are being sold in lots of 10 in 5cm pots for $15.00 and we have plenty of stock.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
