Description


Phormium ‘Bronze Baby’ is a compact, evergreen perennial from New Zealand, prized for its bold, architectural foliage and rich bronze coloring. It’s a dwarf variety of Phormium tenax, making it ideal for smaller spaces and container planting.

🌿 Description:

  • Foliage: Sword-like, upright leaves in deep bronze to chocolate-brown tones. The leaves form dense, fountain-like clumps that bring dramatic texture and color contrast to garden borders or pots.

  • Size: Grows to about 60–90 cm (2–3 feet) tall and wide, smaller than typical Phormiums, making it suitable for tighter spaces.

  • Flowers: Occasionally produces tall flower spikes in summer with tubular red or bronze-purple flowers, though blooming is more common in ideal, sunny conditions.

  • Growth Habit: Clumping and non-invasive; slowly spreads over time to form tidy, low-maintenance mounds.

🌞 Ideal Conditions:

  • Sunlight: Full sun to part shade (color is richest in full sun).

  • Soil: Moist, well-drained soil; tolerates a range of soil types, including sandy or clay.

  • Hardiness: Hardy to around -10°C (14°F); suitable for mild temperate climates.

  • Watering: Moderate water needs; drought-tolerant once established.
