i baught this small

How tall will it get? I have a few of those, bought this year.

i dont know its about 30" now and ive had it about 5 years starting in a pot.i thaught it was a cordaline but the more it grows the more it resembles a flax i love the colour.it doesnt like loads of water.

That's right - Flax - AKA Phorium. I love them!

me to great plants
used to be used for bow strings and sewing.

and to make rope I think?

get one leaf and have a tug of war with ya mate.bet you cant break it

Nah - I'm a right weed - I'd break first! I once divided up one of my phormiums - one of the hardest things I've ever done in the garden - it was SO TOUGH! Ended up taking a hacksaw to the rootstock - took me almost a full day and the plant wasn't even that big to begin with!

i got a big green one.it had bean dug up.hacked right back roots and leaves ,left in that hot summer on concrete for a couple weeks wating to be thrown away.like you say we had to get an axe in the end to get a bit of.but wo and behold it took strate away love it

good find....

my fave price lol
its amazing what people actualy call rubbish.a weed realy is a plant in the wrong place
