Cordyline 'Paso Doble'

How to grow Cordyline 'Paso Doble' in NZ

Cordyline 'Paso Doble' thrives in full sun to partial shade in most New Zealand regions. For the most intense 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 short dry periods provided drainage remains good. Protect young plants from strong winds while they establish.

Cordyline 'Paso Doble' care tips

Cordyline 'Paso Doble' benefits from feeding in spring with a balanced fertiliser to promote lush healthy foliage. Water during extended dry spells to prevent leaf browning and stress. Remove any damaged or ageing lower leaves to maintain a tidy upright appearance. In colder areas provide protection from severe frost which can mark the foliage and reduce colour intensity.
