In a good summer, tall, leafless stems may push up panicles of vivid red flowers, attracting nectar-seeking birds and adding a further burst of contrast against the dark foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis evergreen, clump-forming perennial reaches a height of up to 1.2m (4ft), making it one of the more compact Phormium varieties and an excellent choice as a centrepiece in containers, or as a bold, dark foil for silvers, pinks, and blues in a mixed border. It thrives in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade, and may benefit from a dry winter mulch in colder or more exposed parts of the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe've hand-selected each Phormium 'Platt's Black' for strong, dark colouring and healthy, well-established growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PengellyGardenCentre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42027545198760,"sku":"-","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/products\/black_53d4c501-120c-41ca-8b1a-ec52283be6ed.jpg?v=1645535399","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/copy-of-phormium-jester","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
