Cordyline australis Pocahontas

Cordyline australis 'Pocahontas' is a striking, evergreen shrub known for its bold, architectural form and colorful foliage. It features long, sword-like leaves with vibrant reddish-pink margins, creating a dramatic and tropical look. The plant can grow up to 2-3 meters tall, making it an excellent focal point in gardens or containers.

To grow Cordyline australis 'Pocahontas,' plant it in a sunny to partially shaded location with well-draining soil. It tolerates a range of soil types but prefers slightly acidic to neutral conditions. Regular watering is essential during the establishment phase, but once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant. Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture and protect the roots. This Cordyline is also frost-tolerant to some extent, but in colder climates, it benefits from winter protection.

'Pocahontas' is perfect for adding a splash of color and a tropical feel to gardens, patios, and container arrangements. Its striking foliage and low-maintenance nature make it an ideal choice for contemporary and low-water-use landscapes.
