How to Grow and Care for Cordyline in New Zealand

Cordyline prefers free-draining soil and a sunny or semi-shaded position. Plant in spring or autumn for best results. Space your plants according to their mature size—compact types can be grouped for a massed effect, while larger Cordyline Kaspar plants make stunning stand-alone features. Water well during establishment. Once settled, Cordyline is drought-tolerant, though it benefits from occasional deep watering during dry periods.

Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Feed with a slow-release fertiliser in spring to encourage lush growth. Prune off damaged leaves to keep plants tidy and healthy.
