Hi Sue, If your flax plant is a Phormium (New Zealand Native) They are very tolerant of most soils, so very hardy. To tidy the old leaves up around the bottom they should just pull out with a quick hard pull, if not snip them with a nice sharp pair of secateurs. They come in greens,yellows, reds, plums & nearly black, which colour is yours? Hope this helps.
