How to grow the Astelia 'Red Devil'

Astelia 'Red Devil' grows best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained, fertile soil. Choose a sheltered location to protect its colourful foliage from harsh winds. Enrich the soil with organic matter before planting and space the plants about 50 cm apart. Water regularly during dry periods, especially while establishing.
