'Black Adder'™ is a fantastic, deep burgundy/black colored Phormium. It is easy to grow and tolerates most locations without affecting growth or ornamental appeal.
Black Adder is ideal for containers and borders where a striking feature plant is required to set off lighter colored plants or ornamental containers. As it matures, it forms an elegant semi-upright mound. The glossy dark foliage becomes pendulous at the tips.
