Cordyline australis 'Red heart', total 50-55 cm, 2 ltr. pot
Cordyline australis 'Red Heart' is another popular variety of Cordyline australis, valued for its vibrant foliage and striking appearance. Here’s an overview of its characteristics:
Key Features of Cordyline australis 'Red Heart':
- Foliage: This variety is named for its striking deep red or burgundy leaves, which are sword-shaped, long, and narrow. The color is rich and consistent, giving the plant a bold, architectural presence in gardens and landscapes.
- Growth Habit: Red Heart typically grows in a single, upright trunk with a tuft of long, arching leaves at the top. Over time, it can grow to a height of 3 to 5 meters (10 to 16 feet), though it often remains smaller in containers or younger stages.
- Hardiness: Like other Cordyline australis varieties, it’s relatively hardy and can tolerate light frosts, but it’s best to provide protection in colder climates. It thrives in mild, temperate conditions.
- Uses: This plant is versatile in the garden and can be used as a focal point in borders, rock gardens, or containers. Its bold color makes it a favorite in contemporary landscaping or tropical-style gardens.
- Light: Prefers full sun for the best color development, but can tolerate partial shade. More light typically brings out a deeper red hue in the foliage.
- Watering: Moderate watering requirements; it prefers well-drained soil and is relatively drought-tolerant once established.
- Flowers: In mature plants, it may produce small, fragrant white flowers on long panicles, followed by small berries, although this feature is secondary to its ornamental foliage.
Cordyline australis 'Red Heart' adds a bold splash of color to any garden, especially when planted against contrasting green foliage or in minimalist, modern landscapes.
