I don't have a phormium here, but i did at the last house i love them. Grew some from seed once that was really rewarding.
I have the Fatsia though i took a pic of that looking sad this morning but i didn't think much of the picture. I'll post it here now.

I don't know Yucca Noblis I have the variegated ones but there not large, I have some cordylines and phoenix palms etc but the frost had melted in the early sun before i got outside.

Where in England did you live? I find everyone over here wants tropical looking stuff in summer time but not prepared to put the effort in early on. So they buy really dull stuff. Its such a shame as in England you can get away with so many interesting plants!
Did you find that? Now you have a different perspective.
