Cordyline Australis Red Star - Cabbage Palm - Plant in 2 L Pot

Cordyline australis are native to New Zealand and are great plants especially if you are looking to create that tropical/Mediterranean effect. Red Star is one of a number of varieties bred for their vibrant distinct dark red purple leaves. A striking plant that can be used in the garden border as an accent plant, or in a pot or container either as a single plant or as part of a display. Unlike the green variety these seldom flower. Easy to grow in most free draining soils in a full sun or partial shade location. This plant can be used in a mixed planting or as a stand alone specimen in the garden or can easily be grown in a pot or other container. Use a good quality compost. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmoscote pro 5-6 month applied in the early spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year. Protect from hard prolonged frost. This listing is for well established plants in a 2 ltr pot, approximately 30 to 50cm tall excluding the pot.
