Phormium Platts Black
Phormium cookianum 'Platts Black'
A stunning non-fading rich, dark-purple dwarf flax. It's an accent plant; proud, with a tidy and broad clumping habit that's at home in garden or pot - where it grows quickly to fill a spot or gap. En masse it's great for landscape use, new gardens and erosion control. Summer flowers attract native birds.
Feature:

'Evergreen' luxuriant growth in dark shades.

Uses: Gardens, screens, rockeries or banks. Looks good in a patio pot for a year or two. Its foliage is wonderful in floral art.
Position: Sun or part shade, and reasonable soil, hot or cold, dry or damp.
Care: Light general fertiliser dressing in autumn and occasional grooming to remove oldest leaves will keep the bush tidy and vigorous.
