Cordyline fruticosa Rubra

Another great plant to fill space in the mid to rear section of a garden that is shaded by trees or palms. The good thing is that they are so easy to propagate from a cutting so look around your street or friends gardens, they are bound to have one and you just need a 15cm cutting.

Put the cutting in a 140mm pot of potting mix and keep it moist and in the part sun and you will have a new plant in no time. In line with my needs they tick all the boxes, being pretty tough, can take being dry for a while but are at their best when feed and watered. There are dozens of different Cordylines around in colours from Red to yellow and orange
