Phormium maintenance
At the park, we have several big phormiums at the back of a border. Apart from improving the look of it, is there any benefit to the plant, or to neighbouring plants, from removing the dead leaves around the base? This morning I removed a lot that were visible from the path, but there are loads more which are concealed by the upper growth and by the surrounding plants. It was quite a tussle getting at them, cutting them off and bagging them. I don't mind diving in there again if it will bring any benefit, but I shan't bother if not.
