Mature Variegated flax plant
If you want an instant mature variegated flax for your landscaping or garden I have one here. A nice specimen , viewed from all angles.
Flaxes do take a while to clump up and this one has done that.
It is growing in a copper and the buyer would need to remove it from the copper as it will take a bit of grunt. ( I have other plans for the copper and it doesn't come with the plant)
It should come out without too much trouble, as the copper sides flair slightly wider to the top. If I soak it well before its removal that could help.
It should transplant well.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
