Cabbage trees, or cordylines, are perfect for injecting vertical drama into the garden.
Their fast growth and striking shapes make them a versatile addition to any planting scheme.
Beyond the classic C. australis, consider varieties like the broad-leafed C. indivisa, the multi-trunked C. banksii, or the vivid red-leafed ‘Red Fountain.’ Cordylines can handle both wet and dry conditions, making them ideal for unpredictable climates.
Planted singly or in clusters, they create an eye-catching, architectural statement that pairs beautifully with other natives or exotics.
