Few plants add structure & impact quite like Cordylines.

With their upright, palm-like silhouettes & long, arching sword-shaped leaves, these hardy evergreens bring bold vertical accents to gardens year-round. Whether it’s the fresh, tropical green of classic Cordyline australis or the deep burgundy tones of Cordyline ‘Red Star’, both varieties offer strong architectural form that instantly elevates beds, borders & containers. Mature plants may also produce fragrant, creamy-white summer flowers that draw bees, butterflies & other pollinators, adding an extra layer of seasonal interest.

Each plant is supplied as a healthy, fresh & fully established 2L rootball, professionally grown in peat-free compost & hand-raised at our Yorkshire nursery. Delivered garden-ready with strong roots & vibrant foliage, these cordylines establish quickly & thrive with minimal care. Whether grown as statement feature plants in decorative pots, as structural centrepieces in tropical-style borders, or as striking accents in modern garden designs, they bring drama, resilience & effortless style.
