    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Very dwarf New Zealand Flax that is scarce in the trade. The problem with the larger standard cultivars is that they just keep getting bigger and then you have to do something with them usually just this side of heavy equipment. Not so here. Great in the garden.
