You can’t go out in public without spotting a Phormium or two (or three). This is because Phormium, with their sturdy growth habit and colorful, fibrous leaves, are one of the most useful plants in the landscape. Need a set of sentinels to mark an entryway? Phormiums. Need to fill a hot, dry parking lot strip? Phormiums. Upright accents in stately garden urns? Phormiums. Something colorful yet hardy near pools? Phormiums. There is a Phormium for nearly every garden and every growing condition.
Phormium ‘Dusky Chief’ adds dramatic color to the landscape with its burgundy-copper leaves that glow a rusty orange when backlit by the sun. Upon close inspection, the underside of each leaf appears to have a dusky-silver sheen. Growing 3-4’ tall and wide, this cultivar is a smaller, more graceful form of Phormium with soft, upright leaves. For best results, plant in full sun to part shade and provide light to regular water. Cold hardy to 15° F. ‘Dusky Chief’ is a popular choice among landscape contractors, designers and architects in mass plantings or as accents in naturalistic, modern, geometric and Mediterranean landscapes. Leaves are valuable additions to cut floral arrangements.
