Am i understanding this correctly ?
It didn't strike me that way at all. Just someone asking for advice, concerned about doing the wrong thing for their plants. In my book that is being sensitive to a plant's needs.

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.

What's your weather like 2026
Very windy but dry now after a light shower earlier, not feeling too cold at 9 degrees, but I don't like strong wind, does a lot of damage.

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.
