Hi, i've got a pink stripe phormium in the boarder of my garden. it was planted last summer (09) and the leaves have started to go a brown colour (may 10). should i cut them off or just leave it and see what happens? now sure if it has to much water or feed. over the summer i'll normally feed it every other week

thanks. do you think phoriums have a better chance of survival in pots rather than in the garden?

im not sure nick if , pots get colder with frost dont they, the only one i have left from last year is in the ground,maybe someone else will know the answer to that one

One of mine was in a pot, so I think the answer is no! Although of course things in pots CAN be moved somewhere sheltered....unfortunately that didn't occur to me this winter :-(
