Phormium 'Dwarf Burgundy' (New Zealand Flax) - New Zealand Flax cultivar that grows to only 3 feet tall with slightly arching reddish brown leaves that age to bronze.
Plant in full sun to light shade. Can tolerate fairly dry conditions (coastal) but looks best with occasional to regular irrigation. Hardy to 15-20 F. Possibly root hardy below these temperatures but with severe foliage damage unless protected.
We received this smaller bronze flax from Forest Nursery in Los Osos, California. We grew this variety from 2008 to 2011.
