At Fernwood we grow over 70 varieties of Phormium and in January 2002 our Phormium collection was awarded NCCPG National Collection® status.

In 1999 we planted a bed containing phormiums only. The bed measures 4m. in diameter and, after digging in the grass which previously occupied the area, the soil was covered with Mypex ground cover and the phormiums planted through it. The surface was then covered with horticultural grit.

The construction and development of this bed is described in more detail on the Phormium bed pages.

Plants for sale or exchange

 

We do not sell phormiums by mail order but we normally have a selection  of plants for sale at the nursery. We are always interested in exchanging for any varieties that we do not already have.
