Great as an addition to any landscaping project in a tropical garden or poolside, the Cordyline Red Star variant features long burgundy leaves that radiate from the tip of its single trunk to create a star-shaped habit that creates a striking appearance for any landscape. Older plants form a small cluster of pannicle shaped white flowers which turn into berries. Works well in a large pot as a feature plant, or in large pots, specimen planting, and many contemporary gardens.
