It will eventually reach 6 m tall and 4 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of coastal conditions, heavy and wet soils, dry periods, and moderate frost. Cordyline obtecta is commonly grown as a specimen or planted in clusters. Its simple form and great aesthetics allow it to blend with almost any planting.
