Phormium Cookianum 'Tricolor' for Dawn :-)

Phormium Cookianum 'Tricolor' for Dawn :-) (Phormium cookianum (Mountain flax))

Closer view of the leaf, love the pink edge on this, bigger than 'Moonraker' 2-3ft tall and 5ft across at the moment think it can get bigger though.

I do like the pink on that one, Phormiums do very well here, we have five even in our small patch they look good all year too.....

Thankyou girls :-) yes it does need a lot of space I've moved several plants that were starting to get smothered !
I have five too Dd!! I lost my absolute favourite though in yes you've guessed one of those winters,''Flamingo' it had lovely peachy pink leaves striped olive green.

Oh yes, its very nice Kathy. Thank you for showing. I must put on my wishlist. Our local garden centre chain have an offer out at the moment - any plant half price so I did get one the other day - Phormium Apricot Queen. Always room for another one like yours somewhere ;-)

Yes you can't really see the true colour in the bigger picture .
Ooo that's a nice one Dawn I had one similar colouring but lost it in the cold winters it was my favourite too, in fact Moonraker is now in its place.
