Description

This miniature flax quickly reaches 2' tall and 3' wide. Upright foliage has creamy white margins with interior gray green color. 'Tiny Tiger' tolerates full sun in coastal areas but prefers afternoon shade in warm inland valleys. Leaf color tends to fade in sun, changing to bronze. 'Tiny Tiger' looks great in containers, is deer resistant and can tolerate wet soils. Yellow flowers on stalks appear in summer.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
