Phormium is a great structural plant, with purple sword like foliage contrasting well with mixed plantings. Looks good beside water, in gravel, or in a container; but it needs space reaching up to 3m tall by 2m
Cultivation tips: Hardy now throughout England, Phormiums flourish in the mixed border - providing architectural form and all year round foliage colour. Plant in any moist fertile soil in a sheltered location in full / part sun. Remove dead growth in autumn.
