Late last year, we had a lengthy discussion on the pros and cons of
Phormiums. Cold hardiness was discussed at length, but I don't remember any
discussion of heat hardiness. Do those of you, who have experience with
Phormium, think it could survive in a location that may approach 40-42C for
6-8 weeks in midsummer?
