Spike Cordyline (Spike)
×
Color Name: Red Sensation
Red Sensation's narrow, sword-like foliage adds style and structure to the landscape. Its burgundy-red leaves are a source of rich color all season long, without the fuss of flowers. Terrific for growing in containers, either alone or mixed with contrasting flowers or foliage plants. Wonderful for combination plantings. Perfect for all kinds of containers. Use as an accent or specimen in beds, planters and window boxes.
Growing Tips: Cordyline Spikes are fairly drought tolerant. Plant in any well drained soil. Feed every two weeks if planted in a container with other plants. If your Cordyline spike is in its own pot, feed it monthly with a balanced plant food while actively growing. At the end of the growing season Cordyline can be moved indoors for the winter. After many years of moving the plant in for the winter (out for the summer) it is possible to grow a large specimen tree. This plant can be a perennial in zones 9-11. In zones 3-8 it is an annual only.
