    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Selected by legendary CA plantsman Ed Carman, this selection of New Zealand Flax is normallonly seen in limited numbers on the west coast. We brought a plant back from a CA visit some years ago, and finally have a small supply of healthy divisions to offer. 2-3' grey-bronze foliage blades are delicately edged with pink and cream. 'Ed Carmen' will appeal to those who like to explore unique plant color combinations.
