I'm thinking of planting New Zealand Flax along a very long, open fence at
the front of our property;
my questions are two:
1. Can I plant this from seed (as I don't think I can afford as
many plants
as I will need), and has anyone had experience with this?
(and where can I
find the seeds?)
2. I would prefer one of the cream/green hybrids...or possibly a
combination of
cream/green and some of the bronzy ones...I'm looking for a
very dramatic,
"architectural" look.
I guess I can't count; that's more than two questions! At any rate, I would
appreciate your
input and experience. Thanks...
