Phormium Bronze Baby...

I like the chippings around it too :)

Thanks Hywel, these do well in the South.

I used to have one in a pot for years. I used to put it in some shelter for the winter, for it to be dryish.

Hywel - it's water in the crown, freezing and thawing, that it doesn't like.

Thank you Andrew, I thought as much .... The year it died I'd left it out in the open :(

If it gets too big to move, you can buy a fleece cosy and put that over the plant and pot and use pegs or string to keep it in place. I do that with mine.

That's a good idea. If I get another one, I'll do that - thanks.

Actually the one I had, I found it in the middle of a road, with traffic going over it. It was quite small. (Some vandals must have pulled it out of a display, and thrown it there) I stopped the car, got out, and rescued it and it grew into a nice big plant :) So I was rather upset when it died ...

I agree with Hywel, I love the way it has been planted.

I have this one in a large pot, love the colour :o)
