Phormium Flax "Chocolate Baby" 15cmPot
Product Details
Weight: 2.00 kg
Botanical Name: Phormium ‘Chocolate Baby’
Common Names: Chocolate Baby New Zealand Flax, Dwarf New Zealand Flax, Bronze Flax Lily
📌 Product Description
Phormium ‘Chocolate Baby’ is a compact evergreen ornamental foliage plant prized for its rich chocolate-bronze, strap-like leaves and neat clump-forming habit. Its deep colouring adds strong contrast and a modern architectural look to garden beds, borders, and containers.
This dwarf Phormium is especially useful where a smaller, tidy accent plant is needed. The upright to gently arching foliage provides year-round structure and pairs beautifully with green, silver, or variegated plants in contemporary and water-wise landscapes.
Hardy and low maintenance, Phormium ‘Chocolate Baby’ performs well in a wide range of South African garden conditions and is excellent for both landscape and container use.
