Bronze Baby New Zealand Flax is a popular, medium-sized cultivar prized for its elegant, arching foliage in rich bronze and olive-green tones. The leaves have a beautiful, leathery texture and form a graceful, fountain-like clump. Its sophisticated color scheme works well in a variety of garden styles, from tropical to contemporary. Reliable, tough, and ever-reliable, it serves as an excellent foundational plant or focal point that asks for very little in return.
