Description

Dramatic and evergreen plants that are sure to add sought-after intrigue to more-or-less any garden.

Also known as New Zealand Flax, ‘Black Velvet’ stay true to their name, with sword-like leaves that are as close to black as they come, arching gracefully from a central clump.

Phormiums are grown in gardens across the country for their memorable look, so why not join the wave of popularity?

Towards the tail end of summer, see spikes of tubular red blooms that add an extra layer of interest to these already outstanding plants.

What’s more, ‘Black Velvet’ are very versatile and can be used to add height to a sunny bed or border, or for a patio pot.

For best impact, consider planting this variety alongside low-growing flowers in vibrant shades, such as a buttery yellow.

Supplied as a set of three established plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting.

Top Tips
Grow in a silver-coloured container for the ultimate in contemporary planting.
Care Information
  • Plants dislike cold, damp soil, so are best planted in full sun in well-drained soil, such as in a gravel or Mediterranean-style garden.
  • Avoid planting in exposed places as wind and cold will cause die-back on the leaves and stems. If damage does occur after a harsh winter (colder than -10°C), plants can be trimmed to remove dead growth, otherwise they need no pruning.
  • In colder areas they need to be given some mulch or other protection around the base of the plant in winter.
  • Other than that, really easy!
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
