Why Buy Cordyline for Your Garden

When you buy cordyline, you’re investing in a plant that brings instant style and lasting value. Cordylines are evergreen and sturdy, retaining their lush leaves even through colder months. Their upright, strappy foliage adds a modern twist to any planting scheme, while their drought tolerance makes them ideal for busy gardeners or those in drier regions. Plus, cordylines are incredibly versatile—you can grow them in the ground, in pots, or even use them as an indoor statement plant in bright, well-lit rooms.

Popular Cordyline Varieties in New Zealand

Choosing the right cordyline is easy with our wide range of unique cultivars. Some top picks include:

Mix and match varieties for textural contrast, or plant a grouping of the same variety for a strong architectural effect.

Planting and Caring for Cordyline

Cordylines are surprisingly hardy and will do well in most free-draining soils. Plant in full sun for the brightest foliage colours, or choose a spot with dappled shade if you prefer softer tones. Water regularly while establishing, then enjoy their resilience to both wind and dry conditions. For pots, use a quality container mix and feed during the growing season to ensure healthy, vibrant foliage.

Keep an eye out for slugs or snails on young leaves, and trim off any old or damaged foliage at the base to keep your cordyline looking tidy.
