Phormium 'Surfer' is an evergreen perennial or sub-shrub. It is a dwarf variety of its Phormium tenax cousin. Great for pots and smaller spaces where the accenting feature of a flax is needed but not the size.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
