Why Choose Cordyline 'Red Fountain'?

Cordyline 'Red Fountain' is celebrated for its rich, coppery-red foliage and elegant, upright growth habit. Unlike some cordyline varieties, it stays compact, reaching about 1.5 metres tall, making it ideal for smaller gardens or patios. This hardy perennial thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates coastal conditions, dry periods, and even light frosts—perfect for much of New Zealand’s climate.

If you’re seeking colour and texture that lasts throughout the seasons, Cordyline 'Red Fountain' delivers. Its architectural leaves create dynamic movement and contrast next to traditional green plants or softer textures.

Where to Plant Cordyline 'Red Fountain'

Cordyline 'Red Fountain' is exceptionally versatile. Use it as a focal point in modern landscapes, group it with contrasting foliage plants, or plant it along pathways for a dramatic effect. Its tolerance to wind and salt spray makes it an excellent choice for coastal gardens. For even more impact, try pairing this cordyline with:

• Cordyline Red Star: For even deeper red hues.
• Cordyline Lime Fountain: Bright lime-green foliage creates eye-catching contrast.
• Cordyline 'Raspberry Fountain': Add vibrant raspberry-pink tones to your garden palette.

Cordyline 'Red Fountain' Care Tips

Once established, Cordyline 'Red Fountain' is remarkably low maintenance. Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly during its first season. Mature plants only require occasional watering, making them excellent for drought-prone areas. Pruning is rarely necessary but you can remove old leaves at the base to keep the plant tidy.
