    An Algarve Garden 2024 to 2026

    The scent was so strong on the Brug today it was almost overpowering in the house at least 20 meters away. Needless to say, the house smells heavenly.

    Phormium which one

    Phormiums can suffer in cold, wet winters, especially if you have clay soil. I thought of Yucca as an alternative too. They have an upright, less arching habit so might suit you better.
