It grows as an evergreen with attractive foliage. Its bright green leaves range in size but develop in clumps. They are sword-shaped and have a narrow edge to them. This tends to grow red-orange in colour, offering just a burst of beautiful colour wherever it is planted. There is a range of native varieties available, tenax, cookianum, and dwarf Emerald Green, as well as the selections like Evening Glow, Jack Sprat, Platts Black, Black Rage just to name a few. You can place these plants next to each other to create a beautiful low hedge or place them individually in various areas of your garden for a stunning, unique look. In all cases, these tend to be a good choice for those who want a hardy plant that does not require a lot of hands-on work to keep it looking stunning.
