Phylanthus cochinchinensis

Phylanthus cochinchinensis

Phyllanthus cochinchinensis (commonly known as the Vietnam Leaf-Flower or Tipsy-wood). It is a tropical evergreen shrub known for its graceful, drooping foliage, which gives it a "weeping" appearance.

 

Growth Habit: It typically grows as a prostrate or rounded shrub, reaching heights of 1.5 to 3 meters. Its long, thin branches naturally arch and cascade, making it highly desirable for hanging baskets, raised planters, or as a "spillover" plant in landscaping.

  • Foliage: The leaves are small (1–2 cm), leathery, and arranged in two rows on short branches, creating a delicate, fern-like look.
  • Flowers: It produces tiny pink or yellow flowers in the leaf axils, typically blooming from summer into winter.
  • Common Uses: Because it takes well to pruning, it is frequently used for bonsai, formal hedges, or as a dense groundcover.
