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.

Cordyline 'Paso Doble' size, spacing, and growth rate

Cordyline 'Paso Doble' typically grows to around 2 to 3 metres tall and about 1 to 1.5 metres wide, forming a strong upright clump. Space plants approximately 1 to 1.5 metres apart to allow for mature spread and airflow. Growth is moderate to fast in favourable warm conditions. Over time it develops into a striking vertical feature with richly coloured foliage.
