Summer planting
Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth.
Phormium Jester
Height: 1m;  Spread: 1m
Flax cultivar (Flax)
A particularly good selection as it keeps its colour better than most.
