Cordyline Australis | 7.5L Pot ()

Wonderful conservatory plant. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast Flowering period: July to August Hardiness: half hardy This popular, palm-like tree has arching, lance shaped, light green leaves, retained throughout the year. Mature trees produce dramatic white flower spikes that smell exquisite. It’s an ideal focal point plant for a sunny, protected border, patio or for the exotic garden. It is also faster growing than the varieties with coloured foliage. In frost-prone areas it’s best grown inside a warm greenhouse or conservatory. Garden care: In spring, when new growth appears and all danger of hard frosts has passed, cut back frost-damaged branches to just above the newly formed shoots.
