    I think it is a Phormium cookianum, New Zealand Flax.

    which plant are you asking about? It's a phormium in front.

    My limited knowledge of such plants suggests a cordyline at the bacl



    In the sticks near Peterborough

    Definitely a Phormium. Could be a plain form of P. cookianum or P. tenax ( more common) You have done well, getting it to flowering size in three years.

    You must have very exotic roadsides! Well done.

    Thank you everyone, we were driving down a country lane in Bude and saw it on the verge. It was seeding so we took four and two grew into super plants. Tried to find out what it was with no answers so thought we would ask the professionals!. Already have the family wanting seeds.

    Next question when it has finished seeding should l cut the stem down to base?
