Description

Cordyline australis 'Black Knight'

APPEARANCE: Elegant dark purplish-black leaves, as with most Cordyline australis varieties it has thin strappy leaves and is more hardy and robust in cooler climates and under tough conditions.
USE FOR : Stately and architecturally pleasing this cordyline is perfect for the accent garden. As a contrasting plant for a bold statement in the garden or massed together for a splash of colour.
PLANTING : Cordylines are surprisingly hardy and worth a go in most protected areas but will prefer full sun to part shade. Plant in a well drained soil, mulch and fertilise when planting. Surprisingly tolerant of dry conditions but growth is restricted under these conditions.
CARE : Remove dead foliage and cut back in spring if plants become tall. Cutting all foliage off is fine as the plant will regrow from the stem.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
You can see an example in the image gallery.
