Product description
Low growing, clump-forming herbaceous perennials with beautiful foliage colour and good garden interest. All Phormium could be described as such and the phormium ‘Liquorice and Lime’ is no exception. The long, arching, narrow evergreen foliage is a lovely maroon colour with green margins. Above the foliage, in Summer, grow stems bearing small clusters of trumpet-shaped red flowers which complement the display nicely.
Plant in moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil and keep in full sun. Tolerates partial shade. In colder regions the foliage may dieback or be damaged by frosts or cold winds, so some Winter protection is advised. Fresh growth will be seen the following Spring.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a grower’s pot.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Prune Phormium's dead or damaged leaves regularly to maintain a neat appearance and encourage healthy new growth.
How to Water
Water Phormium regularly, especially in dry periods, but avoid waterlogging. Ensure the soil remains moist but well-drained. Once established, Phormium is drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering.
How to Plant
Plant Phormium in well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded location. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root ball, place the plant in the hole, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil around the roots.
