Cabbage Tree Planting & Care Tips

Plant your cabbage tree in a sunny position with well-drained soil. It’s remarkably tough once established, tolerating drought and poor conditions. Water young plants regularly and mulch to suppress weeds. Over time, Cordyline australis develops an eye-catching trunk and multiple branches, adding height and movement to your garden. It’s also suitable for container planting—ideal for patios or balconies.
