Alice, about your ti question. I was shocked when mine lived over our terribly cold winter this last year. It took a while for them to grow back though. I have lost lots though over the years in winter. I now never buy any but those sold at HD. They are $11 for 3 to a 3 gallon pot and big and PINK! I used to buy outrageous ones from Hawaii but they would croak.

My phormiums are doing great this year. They like full sun I have discovered and want to be watered regularly. I used to keep them too dry. Mine are flourishing and the only bug they seem to get is mealy bugs. None this year, knock on wood. I have them in pots all over my yard. I am afraid to plant them in the ground for they get just HUGE with little encouragement!!!

I just ran out and took a picture of this one, I have 2 of these in big urns. Look it is raining out!! First time since last winter.
