Could you recommend a phormium that does not get too tall (or wide!) The ones that I have in my garden have become too big for the bed they are in but I love their architectural shape. Is there a variety that is just green, without any variegation?
I would like to grow a Swedish birch in a corner of my garden that is quite windy. I have clay soil and the drainage isn't great, although it wouldn't really get waterlogged. Do you think it will survive-I have already lost an Acer Griseum in the same spot!
