*RETAIL - Phormium tenax 'Platt's Black' Herbs three-part leavesFairly new selection, to under 4 ft, with upright narrow leaves of deepest maroon to indeed nearly black plantman's black. Introduced by New Zealand's Graham Platt, this compact plant adds contrast like no other. We have used it with silvers, burnt oranges, and chartreuse yellows to great effect. Of typical frost hardiness to the mid to upper teens F, mid USDA zone 8, with no sign of damage. Below that, "duck and cover." Excellent in container. NEW
