Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This one is sometimes sold in New Zealand as 'Fiesta', but we think it's closer to the clone originally imported as 'Jester'. Phormiums tend to drift, but Luen Miller is our expert. No more or less hardy than the other multicolored forms, ours seem to reach 5' or so. Mulch for winter protection. Frost hardy to 18 °F, upper USDA zone 8.
