Description
Add some instant Mediterranean impact to your garden with this striking Cordyline 'Red Star' plant. This compact, evergreen plant will develop gorgeous arching deep red sword-shaped leaves and once matured, during the summer it will produce sweetly fragranced, ivory-white flowers. Perfect for growing in patio pots where it can really show off. As your 'Red Star' matures, it will become more frost hardy, therefore can be left outside in all but the coldest weather and will withstand all but severe frost.
Top Tips
Plant into a decorative container for best effect.
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.
  • Winter hardy down to -5C. 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.
Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them.
