Cordyline australis ‘Choc Mint’ is an evergreen, ornamental plant with striking sword-shaped leaves featuring a mix of chocolate-brown and mint-green tones. Growing up to 2 meters tall and 1.5 meters wide, it adds strong architectural form to gardens and containers. In Australia, it thrives in full sun to partial shade, tolerating light frost, drought, and coastal conditions. It prefers well-drained soil and requires minimal maintenance once established. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency. A slow-release fertilizer in spring encourages healthy growth. Companion plants such as Lomandra, Alocasia, Phormium, ornamental grasses, and flowering perennials like Salvia and Marigolds enhance its bold foliage and create a dynamic contrast in the landscape. With its striking coloration and resilience, ‘Choc Mint’ is perfect for modern, tropical, and coastal gardens.
