Cordyline australis Red Star, also known as Red Star cabbage palm, is a striking ornamental plant that adds a touch of vibrant color to gardens.
To grow this plant, choose a well-draining location with full to partial sun exposure. Plant it in fertile soil and ensure regular watering to maintain soil moisture. Red Star can tolerate a range of soil types but prefers slightly acidic to neutral conditions.
It can grow up to 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide, making it ideal for smaller spaces.
With its long, arching burgundy leaves that form a dense rosette, this cordyline variety adds a dramatic focal point in landscapes and container gardens. Its compact size and low maintenance requirements make it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced gardeners.
