Cordyline Australis

The Cordyline australis, commonly known as Cabbage Tree or New Zealand Cabbage Tree, is a striking evergreen ornamental plant known for its long, sword-like leaves and upright, palm-like form. It is widely used in landscaping because of its architectural appearance, toughness, and ability to add height and structure to outdoor spaces.

• Appearance: Features long, narrow, arching green leaves that form dense clusters at the top of a woody trunk. Mature plants may develop multiple branches and produce clusters of small, fragrant white flowers.
• Indoor/Outdoor Use: Best suited as an outdoor landscape plant. It works well in garden beds, entrances, courtyards, large containers, and as a feature plant in modern or tropical-style landscapes.
• Care: Prefers full sun to partial shade, well-draining soil, and moderate watering. It is fairly hardy once established and tolerates dry conditions better than many tropical foliage plants.
• Benefits: Evergreen, low-maintenance, architectural, and excellent for adding height, texture, and year-round structure to landscaped areas.
