Flax Cream Delight

At the grass edge of the Wattle Woods the plants need to be survivors. There is patchy sun, but the trees take a lot of the goodness and moisture from the soil. New Zealand flaxes like the weeping hybrid Cream Delight grow well here.

The flax Cream Delight has a weeping form, and it is reasonably large - better leave enough space for it in the garden! I grow hybrid flaxes in mixed plantings - you'll be able to see some Cecile Brunner roses nearby (not the climbing variety).

This early photograph above was taken from the Moosey Archives. The beautiful cream and green striped flax has filled out a little since then.
