Value for every budget Cosmic Cordyline Collection

Tell Me More…
The perfect architectural silhouette, Cordyline australis originate from Australia and are drought tolerant and happy planted in borders and containers, even in coastal areas. Clusters of fragrant flowers are produced in summer on mature plants, and intriguing spherical berries follow in autumn. Your collection comprises; ‘Lime Passion’ – Striking, fresh and zesty, one of the brightest variegated members of the family, boasting shimmeringly clean lines of lime-green and cream stripes, height 1.2m, spread 1m; ‘Charlie Boy’ – shades of bronze and burgundy with bright red margins, height 2.5-4m, spread 1-15.m; ‘Little Red Star’ – long, deep red, palm-like, slender foliage, height 1-2m, spread 1m. Low maintenance and easy to grow, Cordyline australis prefer well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Half-hardy perennials with an RHS hardiness rating of H3, able to tolerate temperatures down to around -6 C. Frost protection will be required when a heavy frost is expected, either with horticultural fleece (for cordylines grown in the ground) or by moving into a cool greenhouse or conservatory if container grown.
