Phormium Tenax Golden Ray

Phormium tenax ‘Golden Ray’ – Bright, Architectural Evergreen Flax

Phormium tenax ‘Golden Ray’ is a vibrant evergreen renowned for its bold variegated foliage. Its long, sword-like leaves are a fresh green accented by broad, creamy-yellow stripes, creating a striking display in borders or containers. With a naturally arching, upright habit, it adds structure, colour, and movement to gardens throughout the year. Hardy, drought-tolerant, and low-maintenance, it’s especially suited to coastal and contemporary planting schemes.


Seasonal Highlights

  • Spring: Fresh, bright variegated leaves emerge, adding instant cheer.

  • Summer: Strong architectural form and luminous yellow striping catch the light beautifully.

  • Autumn: Evergreen foliage maintains colour and shape.

  • Winter: Provides bold structure and reliable greenery during the coldest months.


Key Features

  • Striking variegation – Creamy-yellow stripes on green leaves for all-season colour.

  • Evergreen – Maintains structure and interest year-round.

  • Architectural form – Arching, sword-like leaves create dynamic texture.

  • Coastal & drought tolerant – Very resilient once established.

  • Low maintenance – Requires minimal care.


Perfect For

  • Borders and mixed planting – Adds colour and form among shrubs and perennials.

  • Gravel or Mediterranean gardens – Thrives in well-drained, drier conditions.

  • Coastal gardens – Handles wind and salty air with ease.

  • Containers – Ideal for modern patios, balconies, or entrances.

  • Tropical/exotic schemes – Complements palms and bold-leaved plants.


Growing Tips

  • Sun/Position: Best in full sun but tolerant of partial shade.

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soil; excellent in sandy or gravelly ground.

  • Hardiness: Hardy in most UK areas; protect from severe frost in exposed spots.

  • Care: Remove any damaged or old leaves in spring. Water well when young; minimal maintenance thereafter.


Looks Great With

  • Cordyline and Trachycarpus – Enhance the exotic look.

  • Grasses – Combine with Stipa or Pennisetum for movement and softness.

  • Flowering perennials – Works beautifully with Agapanthus, Crocosmia, and Salvia.

  • Evergreens – Pair with Hebe, Pittosporum, or Euonymus for layered structure.
