Hi, how big is it? It could be phormium , which can grow quite big

Hi the leaves are up to about 2 metres then the flower spikes which have shot up in the last weeks are 3 - 4 metres. This is the first time in 5 years I have seen these stalks

Mike, To get someone's attention eg to reply or ask a Q or say thanks, you need to put an @ in front of their name so they get a notification eg @BrightColours Because this is your post you get a notification every time someone likes or comments, regardless of whether they tag you or not. 😊

@meic sounds like phormium !😀

Looks like a variety of PHORMIUM Mike .......welcome to GTags :)

@flof1952 @joanboston Thanks very much for the help.
