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.
True to its name, Phormium ‘Guardsman’ is a sentinel that stands at attention to 6’ tall, wearing a colorful uniform of dark purple leaves with deep magenta margins. This cultivar is a larger, erect form of Phormium, making a strong statement in the garden. Cold hardy to 15° F, ‘Guardsman’ is tolerant of coastal conditions, heat, drought, and deer. For best results, plant in full sun to part shade and provide light to regular water.
