Another stunning multi-hued Phormium, ‘Platt’s Black’ is notable for its glossy leaves of dark chocolate and green. At 3-4’ tall and 2-3’ wide, this Phormium is a versatile size for the landscape and looks great against bright green, chartreuse, or gold foliage. Cold hardy to 15° F and tolerant of shade, drought, and coastal conditions, plant Phormium in full sun to part shade. From the ancient greek phormos, meaning wicker basket or mat, Phormiums are used by the indigenous Maori of New Zealand for woven baskets and mats, and the fibers are used for rope, fishing nets and clothing. Use Phormium ‘Platt’s Black’ as accents, in mixed borders, or in masses.
