Cordyline ‘Red Star’: Striking Red Foliage for Modern Gardens|Johannesburg
Add year-round colour and architectural interest to your garden with Cordyline australis ‘Red Star’.
Cordyline ‘Red Star’ is an attractive evergreen feature plant known for its long, sword-shaped leaves in rich bronze-red and burgundy tones. Its fountain-like growth creates height, texture and contrast, making it an excellent choice for contemporary gardens, landscaped borders, patios and decorative containers.
Where to Plant Red Star Cordyline
This striking cordyline works beautifully as a standalone focal point, in pairs beside an entrance, or as part of a carefully designed planting scheme. Its dramatic foliage complements green shrubs, ornamental grasses, flowering plants and modern paving.
For smaller gardens, patios and entertainment areas, growing it in a suitable container allows you to introduce bold colour without requiring extensive garden space.
Growing and Caring for Cordyline ‘Red Star’
For the best foliage colour, plant your cordyline in a sunny position. It can also tolerate partial shade, although the red tones may be less pronounced.
Choose well-drained soil and water regularly while the plant establishes. Once established, it can tolerate periods of reduced rainfall, but occasional watering during dry weather helps maintain healthy growth. Remove old or damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant looking neat.
Protect young plants from severe frost and cold winter winds, particularly in colder parts of Gauteng.
Mature plants may produce branched clusters of small, fragrant, creamy-white flowers in summer.
