Add a touch of tropical drama to your garden with Cordyline 'Red Star'. This stunning architectural evergreen is highly prized for its deep burgundy-red, sword-shaped leaves that radiate from a central point, creating a bold focal point in any setting.

Perfect for adding height and texture, 'Red Star' is exceptionally well-suited for Mediterranean-style gardens, contemporary patios, or as a centerpiece in large containers. This variety is more compact than the standard green Cordyline, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens. Supplied in an established 2Ltr (17cm) pot, this plant is ready to make an immediate impact.

Key Features:

• Vibrant Foliage: Striking deep red to burgundy evergreen leaves that provide year-round colour.

• Architectural Shape: Provides a strong vertical element and exotic feel to borders and patios.

• Container Specialist: Thrives in large pots, making it perfect for framing doorways or decorating balconies.

• Established 2Ltr Pot: A robust, well-developed plant with a strong root system, far superior to smaller liners.

• Low Maintenance: Once established, it requires very little care and is generally pest-resistant.

Planting & Care Instructions:

• Position: Best in full sun to develop the deepest leaf colour, but will tolerate light partial shade. Choose a sheltered spot away from cold, drying winds.

• Soil: Requires well-drained soil. If planting in containers, use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3 with added grit for drainage.

• Watering: Water regularly during the growing season, but ensure the plant never sits in waterlogged soil. Reduce watering in winter.

• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly during spring and summer.

• Maintenance: Simply remove the lower leaves as they age and brown to maintain a tidy appearance and reveal the central trunk over time. Protect the crown with fleece during exceptionally harsh winters.
