 foliage
in a great range of different colours from bronze, purple, pink, red, yellow, green and
numerous multi-coloured varieties, they come in a range of different sizes the smallest
being around 60cm and the tallest 2 metres.
Flaxes prefer heavy well-drained soil and don't like a lot of water; they are cold and
frost tolerant and grow fine in coastal conditions. Flaxes are low maintenance and are
