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.
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job.
