Phormium Chocomint (PBR) | 2 Litre Pot

A truly striking form with deep chocolate brown foliage and mint green margins. Position: full sun Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: July Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection) The mint green margins of these strappy leaves provide a fresh contrast to the deep chocolate band that runs along their length. An eye-catching evergreen, it’s valuable for adding structure (as well as colour) towards the front of the border, but it also makes a handsome specimen on the patio. Garden care: Requires minimal pruning. In late spring remove any dead or damaged leaves and apply a balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted organic matter to stimulate vigorous new growth. In frost-prone areas, over-winter container-grown specimens in a greenhouse or conservatory.
