How to grow Cordyline 'Glauca' in NZ

Cordyline 'Glauca' thrives in full sun to partial shade in most New Zealand regions. For the best foliage colour, plant in a sunny sheltered position with fertile well drained soil enriched with compost. Water regularly during establishment to encourage strong root development. Once settled it tolerates dry periods provided drainage remains good. Protect young plants from strong winds while they establish.

Cordyline 'Glauca' care tips

Cordyline 'Glauca' benefits from feeding in spring with a balanced fertiliser to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Water during extended dry spells to prevent leaf browning. Remove damaged or ageing lower leaves to maintain a tidy trunk and enhance its upright form. It is hardy in most regions but may appreciate protection from severe frost when young.

Cordyline 'Glauca' size, spacing, and growth rate

Cordyline 'Glauca' typically grows to around 3 to 5 metres tall and about 1.5 to 2.5 metres wide, forming a strong upright clump over time. Space plants approximately 1.5 to 2.5 metres apart to allow for mature spread and airflow. Growth is moderate in favourable conditions. Over time it develops into a striking vertical feature with cool toned foliage.
