Awahou

Harakeke cultivar. A superior, handsome variety with short, wide, strong pale green blades. Distinct blunt, gothic-shaped tips. The strong fibre shows clearly through the green skin. Orange-red keel and margin. Short kōrari with dense groups of blunt seed pods near the top of the stem.

Makes very good strong kete which dry very white after boiling for one minute. Short, very strong and may be used for piupiu but not really a muka flax.
