Cordyline baueri

Cordyline baueri Details

Cordyline baueri is a highly branched Cabbage Tree that features purple, sword like foliage held atop slender trunks. In summer, the plant is adorned with clusters of small, perfumed, white flowers which are great for attracting birds and butterflies. It typically grows to 4 m tall and 3 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance is achieved when grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frost, dry periods, moderate wind, and cool climates. This Cabbage Tree makes a lovely specimen and is commonly planted in clusters. Cordyline baueri is commonly maintained in a container, included in mixed plantings, used to line a driveway or entrance, or planted against a bland wall.
