Description

Add an exotic touch to your garden with our instant impact Cordyline palms. Already 5 years old, they are great for adding a modern twist to gardens, especially when grown in metallic or modern containers. Their regular swirled pattern of leaves form the slow growing trunk, creating a unique look for gardens.

The bigger the plant, the hardier they are - these can withstand a -7C winter ok, but we always suggest frost protection fleeces or wrapping, or bring into a garage or porch for during the coldest winters. Water them well in summer when they are growing and they will grow 10-15cm a year here in the UK. Cut off any dead leaves at the bottom, and that is what forms the trunk.

The number one choice for a modern and exoic touch for UK gardens.

Supplied as a pair of established 60-70cm tall plants in 17cm pots, ready for planting.

Top Tips

Keep well watered in summer when growing, despite it's tropical looks.

Care Information

Water plants freely during the growing season, and sparingly in winter.
Feed monthly with a balanced, liquid fertiliser from spring to late summer. Top-dress or pot up in spring.
Although frost hardy, young Cordyline plants, and also coloured varieties are more prone to cold damage. This can be prevented by tying up the foliage to reduce wind damage and prevent water collecting around growing points and causing rotting.
In areas prone to severe winters, wrap the trunk with layers of fleece and place a 15cm layer of mulch, such as bark, over the root area.
Move container grown plants to a frost-free location, such as a greenhouse, during periods of cold or wet weather - temporary shelter in a shed or garage will do.
